Notes:
The concept of Byskov which hypothesizes a glycoprotein inducer of meiosis for the mammalian fetal ovary has been tested by examining the incorporation of the specific precursor 3H-fucose into the rete ovarii of day 14 mouse ovaries. Semiquantitation of grains in autoradiographs has documented a concentration over the rete ovarii which exceeded that over the oogonia, ovarian fibroblasts, or surface epithelia. These data support the concept that the cytoplasm of mouse rete ovarii is capable of synthesizing a glycoprotein that may be the meiosis-inducing substance.
