α-Gustducin expression in testis. Confocal analysis showed α-gustducin expression in spermatogenesis, in the spermatogonial, spermatocyte and spermatid phases (A–D) in control mice (R26:lacZbpAfloxDTA transgenic mice). α-Gustducin expression was not observed in interstitial tissues. DTA expression in T2R5 + cells ablated the spermatid phase from most of the seminiferous tubules (E). In a few tubules, we still observed α-gustducin + spermatids (F). (A and E) Low magnification. (B–D and F) High magnification. Scale bars: (A and E) 80 µm; (B) 30 µm; (C, D and F) 50 µm.
