Fig 2. Comparison of ovarian phenotype of Dnd1-Δ mutant female mice among the MCH, BL6, and 129 strains.
(A–C) Comparison of ovary size of 4-week-old littermates of wild-type, Dnd1+/Δ, and Dnd1Δ/Δ mice of the BL6 (A), MCH (B), and 129 (C) strains. Scale bar: 1 mm in A for A–C. (D–L) Ovary sections of 4-week-old littermates of wild-type (D, G, J), Dnd1+/Δ (E, H, K), and Dnd1Δ/Δ (F, I, L) mice of the BL6 (D, E, F), MCH (G, H, I), and 129 (J, K, L) strains were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Insets show enlarged views to better visualize oocytes. Note that there are no oocytes in F. Scale bar: 200 μm in D for D–L. (M) Litter size analysis of wild-type, Dnd1+/Δ, and Dnd1Δ/Δ female mice of the BL6, MCH, and 129 strains (n = 3).
