a Representative images of PLZF-stained testis sections along with quantitation of the number of positive-staining cells. b cKIT-stained testis sections along with quantitation of cKIT-positive and SYCP3-negative cells. c STRA8-stained testis sections along with quantitation of STRA8-positive cells. d SYCP3- and γH2AX-stained testis sections along with quantitation of early prophase (leptotene and zygotene) cells. Early prophase cells were identified based on SYCP3- and γH2AX-staining patterns. The numbers of positive-staining cells counted in individual tubule sections are shown in dot plots. Blue horizontal lines indicate means; bars indicate standard deviations. Proportions of tubules counted that contain varying ranges of positive-staining cells are shown in stacked bar plots. Mean values across mice are plotted; red bars indicate standard deviations. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
