Figure 5

Small round cells (arrows)-putative stem cells in a population of cells scraped from the ovarian surface epithelium. (a) Just after scraping (magnification 400-times). (b) Just after scraping (magnification 1,000-times). (c) After DAPI staining (magnification 400-times). (d) Positively (red) stained on the SOX-2 marker of pluripotency (magnification 400-times). (Light and fluorescent microscope.)
