ETT formation by transplantation of fetal testis from LT-Mc4rG25S/G25S into LT-Mc4rG25S/G25S. (A) Morphology of the ETT-forming testes. The right testis was transplanted and sectioned. Scale bar = 5 mm. (B) A testicular teratoma was found in a testis section (the teratoma area developed from transplanted fetal testis is indicated by the dotted circle). Scale bar = 500 μm. (B–E) Images of tissue-like structures found in a teratoma: (C) thyroid follicular cell (Th); (D) glandular cell (Gl); (E) keratin pearl (Kp); (F) cartilage tissue (Ca). Scale bars = 50 μm.
