Compare the size and abnormal contours of the nuclei in these cells with those of spermatogonia in the lower tubule. Methylene blue and Safranin-O staining. () An intratubular tumorous nodule (designated by arrows) containing CIS-like cells in BCO deer 03-14. Note the foaminess and hypertrophy of Leydig cells and compare with those in . Methylene blue and Safranin-O staining. () Transmission electron micrograph of an atypical germ cell from the testis of BCO deer 03-7. Note abnormal nuclear contours, chromatin clumps, and altered nucleolonema in large nucleolus, swollen mitochondria, and unusual membranous profiles. () Transmission electron micrograph of a cluster of CIS-like cells from the testis of BCO deer 03-6. Note meandering, marginated nucleoli typical of seminomatous lesions and swollen mitochondria in each of these cells. Scale bars: and = 25 μm; and = 2 μm.
