In mice and other mammals, spermatogenesis is maintained by spermatogonial stem cells
(SSCs), a cell population belonging to undifferentiated type A spermatogonia. In the …

The initial recognition between mammalian gametes at fertilization occurs at the zona
pellucida of the egg and the plasma membranes of the spermatozoa (Benoff, 1997; …

Lectin histochemistry is a useful method that allows the in situ identification of the terminal
sugar moieties of the carbohydrates that form the glycoconjugates. Moreover, when it is …

We recently succeeded in inducing germline transmission by transferring chicken testicular
cells into heterologous testes. This study was designed subsequently to identify pluripotent …

The mammalian gallbladder mucosa is lined by a simple columnar epithelium. Typical
surface epithelial cells (principal cells) contain short microvilli, secretory granules, dense …

The oligosaccharide sequences of glycoconjugates and the nature of the saccharide linkage
were investigated in normal human testes by means of lectin histochemistry studies, at light …

Contents Lectins have been widely used to study the pattern of cellular glycoconjugates in
numerous species. In the process of cellular apoptosis, it has been observed that changes …

The testes of prepubertal and adult horses were investigated using 10 horseradish
peroxidase conjugated lectins combined with sialidase digestion and potassium hydroxide …

In the present study, the testes of 32 bovine embryos with different crown-rump length (2.5-
90 cm CRL) and of 15 sexually mature bulls (Deutsches Fleckvieh) were investigated using …

The composition and distribution of rat acrosomal glycoproteins during spermiogenesis
have been investigated at light and electron microscopic level by means of a variety of …
