Expression of five homeoproteins in the testis and epididymis. PCR reactions were performed using sequence-specific primers (see Table 2) for each of the indicated homeoproteins along with cDNAs from adult mouse testis, purified Leydig cells from adult rats (ALC), various Leydig cell lines (MA-10, mLTC-1, TM3, R2C), a Sertoli cell line (MSC-1), and the three regions of adult mouse epididymis (caput, corpus, cauda). The integrity and amount of cDNA used in the PCR assays was assessed by amplifying tubulin mRNA. No template: negative control.
