3. FIGURE 2
SYCP3 mRNA expression in azoospermic patients using semiquantitative nested RT-PCR. 0 = no expression; 1+ = mild expression only in second PCR; 2+ = moderate expression in second PCR; 3+ = high expression in second PCR; 4+ = expression in first and second PCR.

(A) Histopathology of testicular samples with hematoxylin and eosin staining (×200). I = Sertoli cell-only syndrome; II = spermatogonial arrest; III = spermatogenesis arrest; IV = hypospermatogenesis. (B) Reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction products of SYCP3 gene in testicular samples on 1.5% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide. Lanes 1 and 2: patients with no cells or Sertoli cell-only syndrome; lane 3: patients with spermatogonial arrest; lanes 4–7: patients with spermatogenesis arrest; lanes 8 and 9: patients with hypospermatogenesis. PGM1 is used as a positive control; a: PGM1; b: SYCP3 first PCR; c: SYCP3 second PCR; lane 10: negative control (water).
