Search for Conditions to Detect Epigenetic Marks and Nuclear Proteins in Immunostaining of the Testis and Cartilage

Figure 2

Ratios of antigen-positive and -negative cells under different conditions of fixation time and antigen retrieval for the detection of various nuclear antigens in the testis. The ratios of antigen-positive and -negative cells under each different condition are shown as percentage bar charts for spermatogonia (a) and primary spermatocytes (b). Orange: the proportions of positive cells per DAPI-stained cells, and gray: the proportions of negative cells per DAPI-stained cells. Antibodies used in this study, fixation time, and presence or absence of antigen retrieval (“AR+” and “AR−”) are shown in the lower part of the figure. At the bottom, representative panels of positive and negative cells are shown.
