In the immunohistochemical studies the sperm concentrations in some of the lumen of the tubules in sections of the caput/corpus epididymis were low enough to allow the observation of SPAM1 localization on immature sperm.
Apoptotic cells were identified by the TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) method and detected either by flow cytometry [ 27 ] or by light microscopy in histological sections [ 28 ] . The results indicate that transgenic ABP alters the rate of testicular germ cell apoptosis throughout life, but it is most likely to cause its germ-cell depleting effect by promoting germ cell apoptosis during the critical pre-pubertal period ("puberty" in laboratory rodents occurs at 50-60 days of life and is defined as the first appearance of spermatozoa in the tail of the epididymis [ 29 30 ] ).
[ 36 ] who observed that within the promoter regions of genes expressed in both the testis and the epididymis, the testis-expression elements are more proximal to the transcription start site than those mediating epididymal expression.
Western blot analysis also suggests that SPAM1 protein is expressed at higher levels in the distal regions of the epididymis, with the highest level of expression in the corpus, a region associated with a lower volume of sperm.
This finding is consistent with that reported in the mouse [ 11 12 ] where there is differential expression of the protein in the epididymis with the highest expression in the corpus.
