Figure 6. Collagenase activity is localized to the outer follicular cells.

Figure 6.

Ovulating follicles and outer follicular cells of post-ovulatory follicles were incubated for 3 hr in the presence of 50 μg/ml of DQ-collagen type I or type IV. In situ zymography indicated that the collagenase activity was localized to the outer follicular cells of ovulating follicles (upper, arrowheads) and post-ovulatory follicles (lower). No signals were observed in the follicles incubated without DQ-substrates.
