    Notes: We have identified a male meiotic germ cell-specific antigen (Meg 1) with monoclonal antibody (mAb) TRA 369 in mice. The Meg 1 antigen was strongly expressed in specific steps of meiotic germ cells from pachytene spermatocyte to early spermatid, and not in other germ cells or somatic cells. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that the antigen was localized to the cytoplasm and was not distributed in the nucleus or on the cell surface. This antigen was demonstrated to have a molecular weight of 93 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.2 by Western blotting. This molecule was first detected in the testis of 13-day-old mouse when pachytene spermatocytes first appeared. Thus this is a differentiation-specific antigen in male meiotic germ cells, and mAb TRA 369 is a useful tool to study the regulation of germ cell differentiation and to define germ cell development in a molecular level. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: To study the mechanism of spermatogenesis during the premeiotic phase, a hybridoma producing monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for early stages of spermatogenic cells was obtained. In immunohistochemical staining of adult testis, this mAb, designated as EE2, was able to react with type A to B spermatogonia and early meiotic cells, but not with Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, and other somatic tissues. Precursor cells of type A spermatogonia (gonocytes) were also positive for EE2 in perinatal mouse testis. The antigenic molecule recognized by mAb EE2 was a novel glycoprotein with molecular weight of 114 kDa, which had affinity with Con A and WGA lectins, and was susceptible to N-glycanase, suggesting the presence of asparagine-linked sugar chains. Furthermore, EE2 antigen was found to localize on the germ cell surface. The specific expression of this antigenic molecule suggests that it may play an important role in early spermatogenesis, of which only a little information is available at present. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: C57BL/6(B6)-jsd/jsd mice are sterile due to the defective spermatogenesis in the testes. To know the cause of the deficient spermatogenesis in B6-jsd/jsd mice, we examined whether the problem is within or outside the seminiferous tubules by transplanting tubules from cryptorchid testes of B6-+/+ mice into B6-jsd/jsd testes or tubules from B6-jsd/jsd mice into testes of (WB × C57BL/6)F1-W/W (hereafter, WBB6F1-W/W) mice. Type A spermatogonia differentiated into spermatids in seminiferous tubules from cryptorchid testes transplanted into B6-jsd/jsd testes. In contrast, in B6-jsd/jsd tubules transplanted into WBB6F1-W/W testes, type A spermatogonia were stimulated to mitotic proliferation, but didn't proceed to any differentiated germ cells. The present results suggest that the cause of the deficient spermatogenesis in B6-jsd/jsd mice is a defect of intratubular environment to support germ cell differentiation.
