Fig. 5. Anomalies in the morphology and ultrastructure of spermatozoa from male Cep128 KO mice.

Fig. 5

a Spermatozoa from male KO mice showed prominent deformities in the head, neck, and tail regions under light microscopy (n = 3 biologically independent WT mice or KO mice; scale bars, 20 µm). b The primary defect in the midpiece and principal pieces was the absence of the CP, while missing and misplaced MTDs were observed in the end piece. CP central-pair microtubules, MTD peripheral microtubule doublets. (n = 3 biologically independent WT mice or KO mice; scale bars, 150 nm).
