Fig 1. RIC8 in folliculogenesis and in the reproductive tract of adult mouse.

Fig 1

RIC8 was visualized with RIC8 antibody (red), and cell nuclei were visualized with DAPI (blue). (A-F) Transversal cryosections of ovary with oocytes in different follicular stages starting from primordial follicle to Graafian follicle and (G-I) different regions of oviduct are shown. (H) Higher magnification of the region of ampulla and (i, indicated by white box) isthmus.
