Figure 5: Differential glycomic profiling in morphologically different regions of seminiferous tubules.
From: A standardized method for lectin microarray-based tissue glycome mapping
(a) Representative images of tissue dissection from the whole (named “total”), inner (“A”), and outer (“B-A”) parts of seminiferous tubules by LMD. (b) PCA of the normalized lectin microarray data from the 12 fragments from seminiferous tubules of Mouse 5 and 6. Each point represents one tissue section. (c) Two-dimensional HC analysis of the normalized lectin microarray data shown in (b). The 12 samples are listed in columns and the 45 lectins are listed in rows. The color and intensity of each square indicate the lectin signal levels in specific tissue fragments (Red, high; green, low; black, medium). (d) Comparison of the normalized data of the inner and outer parts. Asterisks indicate significant signals of lectins between these two parts (P < 0.05, paired t-test).
