Mouse testicular cell spreads.
Mice have 19 Autosome pairs and two sex chromosomes. The DNA is stained using DAPI in blue. Synaptonemal Complex Protein syp3 is stained in green using syp3 primary and Alexa-Flour-488 secondary antobodies. By courtesy of Alina Jeschke, Odenthal-Hesse group.
Confocal laser scanning microscopy image
