Immunostaining and quantification of UCHL1+/−KIT+/− cells in porcine testis sections. A UCHL1 and KIT immunostaining of porcine testis sections at each age. Arrows, arrowheads and asterisks point to UCHL1+KIT−, UCHL1−KIT+ and UCHL1+KIT+ cells, respectively. Bar = 10 μm. B The upper panels: the numbers of UCHL1+/−KIT+/− cells per cross-section of seminiferous cords/tubules in porcine testes at each age. The lower panels: the ratios of UCHL1+/−KIT+/− to SOX9+ cells per cross-section of seminiferous cords/tubules in porcine testes at each age. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM of three littermates, with 50 randomly selected round cord/tubule cross-sections analyzed per individual. Asterisks and different letters indicate significant differences between groups (P < 0.05)
