Assessment of vascularization and apoptosis during the post-ovulatory period in gcCbfb;Runx2KO mice. Ovaries were collected at 24, 48, and 72 h after hCG administration (n = 3 animals/ genotype). (A) Immunohistochemical analysis was used to detect PECAM-1 (green fluorescence staining). The ovarian sections were counterstained with propidium iodide (red). (B) TUNEL assay was used to detect apoptotic cells (brown staining). The ovarian sections were counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Arrows point to CLs in control animals and the symbol (*) was placed in unruptured follicles and poorly luteinized collapsed follicles in gcCbfb;Runx2KO mice. Scale bars, 250 μm for all the images.
