Figure 1 Fluorescence immunohistochemical localization of N-cadherin (A–F) and E-cadherin (G–L) in human fetal ovary. Gestations as indicated. Positive staining in all panels is green, and sections are counterstained with propidium iodide (red). Insets in C and I show negative control samples of same gestation as main photomicrograph. G = germ cell; Gr = granulosa cell; MD = müllerian duct; PF = primordial follicle; S = somatic cell; WD = wolffian duct. Scale bars: A, B, H: 100 μm; G: 50 μm; E, I, K: 20 μm; C, D, F, J, L: 10 μm.

Figure 2 Fluorescence immunohistochemical localization of N-cadherin and E-cadherin in human first-trimester and rat fetal wolffian (WD) and müllerian (MD) ducts. (A) N-Cadherin, human female. (B) E-Cadherin, human female. (C) N-Cadherin, human male. (D) E-Cadherin, human male; inset shows negative control. (E) N-Cadherin, rat female. (F) E-Cadherin, rat female. (G) N-Cadherin, rat male. (H) E-Cadherin, rat male. Positive staining in all panels is green, and sections are counterstained with propidium iodide (red), Scale bar = 20 μm for all images.
