Title: Silver-stained structures in mammalian meiotic prophase. Author: Pathak S, Hsu TC. Journal: Chromosoma; 1979 Jan 08; 70(2):195-203. PubMed ID: 85512. Abstract: Silver staining of mammalian spermatocytes revealed, in light microscopy, synaptonemal complex and structures within the sex vesicle. It is feasible to follow the chromosome pairing phenomenon from zygotene to pachytene by examining the behavior of synaptonemal complexes. Nucleolus organizer regions take heavy silver stain in pachytene but are no longer detectable in later stages of meiosis.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
