    Notes: Abstract. Nerve growth factor receptor (low-affinity form) was demonstrated immunohistochemically in bovine testis by using a monoclonal mouse anti-human antibody. In the 7-month-old fetus and in the early postnatal testis, the peritubular and intertubular fibroblast-like mesenchymal cells showed a strong reaction. Following differentiation of these cells into Leydig and myoid peritubular cells, the nerve growth factor receptor was no longer expressed. However, peritubular and intertubular testicular fibroblasts/fibrocytes, which are also derived from mesenchymal precursors, remained positive. Additionally, the nerve growth factor receptor was demonstrated in postnatal prespermatogonia, A-spermatogonia, I-spermatogonia and members of the spermatogonia precursor cell line; B-spermatogonia remained negative. In A-spermatogonia and I-spermatogonia, the expression of the nerve growth factor receptor was cell-cycle-dependent and was mostly observed during G1-phase. Pre-embedding ultrahistochemistry with gold-conjugated antibody followed by silver-enhancement revealed that the nerve growth factor receptor was localized at the outer cell surface. The metal granules showed a regular distribution in positive spermatogonia. In testicular fibroblasts/fibrocytes the long narrow processes were preferentially decorated.

    Evolution and ultrastructure of the bovine spermatogonia precursor cell line (1995)

    Notes: Abstract. The spermatogonial stem cell line in prepubertal and adult bovine testis was studied by electron microscopy and protein gene product 9.5 immunohistochemistry. Three successive spermatogonia precursor cell configurations were observed. Small basal stem cells were found to possess a spherical shape and nuclei with two to three nucleoli. They were observed in prepubertal testes (25 and 30 weeks) and in low numbers during all the stages of the seminiferous epithelial cycle in the adult. Aggregated spermatogonia precursor cells are the dominating germ cell type in the 25-week-old and 30-week-old calf. In the adult seminiferous epithelium, they cause expansion of the basal tubular compartment as they form dense groups containing up to 15 cells. These groups are observed concomitantly with cycling A-spermatogonia and preleptotenes at the beginning of spermatocytogenesis. At the end of A-spermatogonia propagation, the aggregated spermatogonia precursor cells separate and intermingle with cycling A-spermatogonia. The spermatogonia precursor cells can later be found together with I-spermatogonia as members of an interconnected cellular network of medium-sized cells. When the I-spermatogonia divide to form the smaller B-spermatogonia, the precursor cells, which stay connected with the cycling spermatogonial population, pass through a growth phase. They can now be considered as committed spermatogonia precursor cells and are continuously being transformed into A1-spermatogonia to start a new round of spermatocytogenesis. Ultrastructurally, all members of the precursor cell line are similar. However, a number of features have been found to show a quantitative increase (endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria) or to exhibit a rising degree of complexity (nucleolus) during the progression from basal stem cells to committed spermatogonia precursor cells.
