From: β-catenin/Tcf-signaling appears to establish the murine ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) and remains active in selected postnatal OSE cells

Figure 3

Loss of ß-catenin/Tcf-mediated lacZ expression in the testis is not due to gonadal surface cell elimination. E15.5 ovary (XX; left panel) and testis (XY; right panel) after Periodic acid-Schiff staining. The basement membrane (arrow) is deposited underneath the epithelial layer (arrow head) of gonads and surrounds ovigerous cords (OC) in XX and testis cords (TC) in XY gonads. Scale bar = 50 μm.
