Immunofluorescence analysis of meiotic spermatocytes of 8 weeks old WT and Dcaf17−/− testes. Immunostaining of the synaptonemal complex with SYCP1 (green) and SYCP3 (red) antibodies in pachytene spermatocytes of WT and Dcaf17 mutant mice (Panel A). Immunofluorescnece staining of γ-H2AX (red) and the lateral element of the synaptonemal complex, SYCP3 (Green) in pachytene spermatocytes of WT and Dcaf17−/− mice (Panel B). Spermatocytes with synaptic X and Y chromosomes (green) around which γ-H2AX (red) was normally distributed in WT and Dcaf17−/− strains. Nucleus is counter stained with DAPI (blue). Magnification 1000X. Scale bar: 10 µm.
