FIG. 8.

Ultrastructural appearance of 3-month-old normal and mCAF1-deficient mouse testicular cells. (A, ×2,850; D, ×2,375; G, ×9,500; J, ×23,750; M, ×38,000) represent sections of wild-type mouse testis. A, normal interstitial compartment; D, normal pachytenes; G, normal elongated spermatids; J, longitudinal section of normal spermatozoa flagella; M, transverse section of normal flagella. The other panels represent sections of young adult mutant mouse testis (B, ×1,900; C, ×19,000; E, ×14,250; F, ×71,250; H, ×9,500; I, ×19,000; K, ×11,400; L, ×19,000; N, ×19,500; O, ×95,000). B, abnormal interstitial compartment and vacuole in pachytene nucleus; C, excess of membrane in peritubular myoid; E and F, dysjunction in plasma membrane; H and I, phagocytosis of degenerated elongated spermatids and spermatozoa; K, excess of endoplasmic reticulum; L, degenerate elongated spermatids; N and O, transverse section of spermatozoal flagella with abnormal membrane.
