Abstract

Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry techniques both determine the target protein by immunolabeling. Flow cytometric analysis quantifies total number of fluorescent labeled cells and qualify sup-populations according to size and granularity. Immunohistochemistry is able to map immune-labeled cells and extracellular matrix components under light and electron microscope by enzyme or fluorescent molecules. Real-time identification, in-time classification, and final plotting of spermatogonial lineage are of crucial importance for monitoring the fertility potential of spermatogonial stem cell microenvironment and predicting progress of spermatogenesis. Here we define the evaluation of mouse male germ cell microenvironment at single cell and whole tissue section levels by using flow cytometric and immunohistochemical approaches.
