Figure 1

GAS2 is expressed in stromal cells of the mouse ovary.

Representative images of staining for GAS2 (brown) on paraffin-embedded ovaries collected at 16.5 dpc (top panels), P7.5 (middle panels), and 6 weeks of age (bottom panel). At all ages examined, expression of GAS2 was observed in the ovaries from wild type mice, but not in those of Gas2 null mutant mice. In ovaries from wild type mice, GAS2 was expressed in spindle-shaped somatic cells surrounding oocyte cysts at 16.5 dpc; in streams of stromal cells near the cortex of the ovary at P7.5; and in the ovarian stroma surrounding growing follicles in adult mice.
