Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterization of mechanically isolated hormone-producing ovarian cells. (A) Hormone-producing ovarian cells are isolated by microdissection from the E 2 -primed ovary of 3-week-old female rats. (B) Morphology of granulosa cells (GCs) and theca cells (TCs) during a 72-h culture. Scale bars, 100 μm. (C) Fluorescence images of the staining of GC and TC with anti-CYP19 granulosa cell marker (green), anti-CYP17A1 theca cell marker (green), and DAPI (blue) nuclear counterstain. Scale bars, 20 μm. (D) The quantitative analysis of cell purity after staining of anti-CYP19 granulosa cell marker and anti-CYP17A1 theca cell marker, respectively, using flow cytometry.
Article Snippet: The primary antibodies used in this study are anti-CYP19 (BS-1292R, Bioss, Woburn, MA, USA) and anti-CYP17A1 (BS-54306R, Bioss).
