Dual Functions in Response to Heat Stress and Spermatogenesis: Characterization of Expression Profile of Small Heat Shock Proteins 9 and 10 in Goat Testis

Figure 5

Immunohistochemistry analysis of HSPB9 and HSPB10 in goat testis. The staining was visualized using DAB (brown), and slides were counterstained with hematoxylin. (a) Immunohistochemistry staining result of HSPB9 in goat testis. (b) Immunohistochemistry staining result of HSPB10 in goat testis. HSPB9 is expressed in spermatogonia, spermatocytes, and round spermatids and HSPB10 is expressed in the elongate spermatids. Triangle means the positive staining signal, and arrow shows the negative result. Convoluted seminiferous tubules (CST), interstitial tissue (IT), basement membranes (BM), germ cells (GC), and elongated spermatids (ES).
