Mouse primordial germ cells (PGCs) are specified between embryonic day 6.5 (E6. 5) and
E7. 5, when they have been visualized as an alkaline phosphatase-positive (AP+) cell …

In mouse embryos, the primordial germ cells arise during gastrulation prior to, and distant
from, the prospective gonads. Observations of PGCs in culture, and in fixed sections, have …

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the founder cell population of the gametes which form
during the sexually mature stage of the life cycle. In the mouse, they arise early in …

During mouse gastrulation, primordial germ cells (PGCs) become clustered at the base of
the allantois and move caudally into the hindgut endoderm before entering the genital …

The functional gametes of all vertebrates first arise in the early embryo as a migratory
population of cells, the primordial germ cells (PGCs). These migrate to, and colonise, the …

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the founders of the gametes. They migrate from their origin
to combine with the somatic component of the gonad. Progenitors in mice have been …

The primordial germ cells (PGC's) of the early mouse embryo have been identified in semi-
thin and ultra-thin plastic sections on the combined bases of location and a distinctive set of …

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) in mice have been recognized histologically as alkaline
phosphatase (AP) activity-positive cells at 7.2 days post coitum (dpc) in the extra-embryonic …

The first histological observations about the origin of the precursors of gametes termed
primordial germ cells (PGCs) in extragonadal regions and their subsequent migration into …

With the aid of a whole-mount technique, we have detected a small cluster of alkaline
phosphatase (ALP)-positive cells in whole mounts of mid-primitive-streakstage embryos …
