Identification of Stem Leydig Cells Derived from Pig Testicular Interstitium

Figure 1

Identification of pig stem Leydig cells (SLCs) in situ. (a) H&E staining of 7 days’ and 2 months’ old porcine testes (bar = 50 μm). (b) Immunohistochemical analysis of PDGFRα of 7 days’ and 2 months’ old porcine testes (bar = 50 μm); the black arrowheads indicated the PDGFRα-positive cells in testicular interstitium. (c) mRNA expression of Nestin in 7 days’ and 2 months’ old pig testes. Different letters (A, B) indicate significant difference ().
