Human Ovarian Follicle Basement Membrane (BM)

in early stage follicles in human ovarian tissue.

• A - Histological analysis of human ovarian tissue revealed an extracellular BM (white arrows) surrounding primordial, early primary, primary and secondary follicles.
• B - Collagen IV (green) expression in the BM (green arrows) of primordial, early primary, primary and in secondary follicles.
• C - Laminin (green) expression in the BM (green arrows) of primordial, early primary, primary and in secondary follicles.
• D - Fibronectin (green) expression in the mesenchymal compartment of the ovarian cortex. Sporadically, we observed fibronectin expression in the BM of secondary follicles (green arrow).
