Fig. 3From: Histone deacetylase inhibition leads to regulatory histone mark alterations and impairs meiosis in oocytesA critical meiotic step is perturbed in embryonic ovaries exposed to PB. Surface spreads from E15.5 control (A, top row) and PB-treated ovaries (A, bottom row) were immunostained with anti-DMC1 (green) and anti-SYCP3 (red) antibodies (63X magnification). B Surface spreads from E17.5 control (B, top row) and PB-treated ovaries (B, bottom row). C Surface spreads from E18.5 control (C, top row) and PB-treated ovaries (C, bottom row). D Quantitative analysis of the number of DMC1 foci per cell performed on at least twenty E17.5 and E18.5 oocytes from four replicates from different litters; n = 4 for each group; *p < 0.05, nonparametric Mann–Whitney testBack to article page
