Figure 2: TH2A is phosphorylated in condensed spermatids.
From: Identification of a variant-specific phosphorylation of TH2A during spermiogenesis
(a) Scheme of spermiogenesis from Stage I to IX. Stages of each seminiferous tubule are determined by the staining pattern of PNA (red). Roman numerals indicate the spermatogenic stages of the seminiferous tubule. (b,c) Immunofluorescent staining of testicular tissue against pTH2A (b) and TH2A (c). Roman numerals indicate the spermatogenic stages of the seminiferous tubule. Representative testicular cells are marked by white arrowhead at spermatogenic stage IV to V seminiferous tubules. Antibodies used and scale bars are as indicated. Number of biological replicates of each experiment is shown as n. Abbreviation: St, Sertoli cell; Sg, spermatogonium; Scy, spermatocyte; Rs, round spermatid; Cs, condensed spermatid.
