Long-Term Oocyte-Like Cell Development in Cultures Derived from Neonatal Marmoset Monkey Ovary

Figure 4

Expression of additional germ cell markers in OCCs. PRDM1 and PRDM14 are necessary for germ cell specification and are expressed in all OCC passages in the range of the controls. DAZL and DPPA3 are also necessary for germ cell specification and were detectable only in few samples. NOBOX is a female-specific germ cell marker and was detectable at relatively low levels in most samples. SCP3 is a meiosis marker and was detectable only in some samples at variable levels. In general, the germ-cell-specific markers were very low or absent during the first three passages.
