Ovarian Surface Epithelium in Patients with Severe Ovarian Infertility: A Potential Source of Cells Expressing Markers of Pluripotent/Multipotent Stem Cells
Figure 1
Histology of ovarian cortex sections in patients. (a) Ovarian cortex with primordial follicles after haematoxylin-eosin staining in the first patient (magnification 100-times). (b–d) Ovarian surface epithelium (arrow) and primordial follicles positively (brown) stained on cytokeratin in the first patient (magnifications 100-times and 200-times). (e, f) Fibrous ovarian cortex without follicles after haematoxylin-eosin staining and ovarian surface epithelium (arrow) positively (brown) stained on cytokeratin in the second patient (magnification 100-times). (g, h) Fibrous ovarian cortex without follicles after haematoxylin-eosin staining in the third patient (magnification 100-times). (Light microscope.)
