Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunofluorescence co-staining for SALL4 and ZBTB16 (A–D), SALL4 and KIT (E–H), UTF1 and SALL4 (I–L), UTF1 and KIT (M–P), UTF1 and UCHL1 (Q–T), UCHL1 and KIT (U–X), UCHL1 and ENO2 (Y-BB) and SALL4 and ENO2 (CC–FF) in adult human testis. DAPI staining (blue) identifies all the nuclei. The bar graphs show quantification and relative proportion of each co-staining. The quantification is shown as the mean number of positive cells per cross-section of a seminiferous tubule. At least 100 seminiferous tubules were counted from 3 different organ donors. Bar graphs in D, H, L, P, T, X and BB indicate the mean percentage of marker positive cells. Error bars represent SEM. Scale bars = 100 μm.
Article Snippet: Subsequently, sections were stained for 90 minutes at room temperature with the following primary antibodies in antibody diluent: mouse anti-UTF1 (1:50, MAB4337, Millipore) goat anti-ZBTB16 (1:50; AF2944, R&D Systems), rabbit anti- KIT; goat anti-KIT (1:400; A4502, DakoCytomation; 1:50; AF332, R&D Systems), rabbit anti-SALL4 (1:500; ab29112, Abcam; 1:40; ab181087, Abcam), mouse anti-ENO2 (1:500, LS-B2890, LSBio), rabbit anti-UCHL1 (1:1000, 7863-0507, Biogenesis), rabbit anti-EPCAM (1:200; ab71919, Abcam), rabbit anti-ITGA6 (1:100; ab75737, Abcam).
