Spatiotemporal progression of annulus during mouse spermiogenesis.

The annulus (arrows) indicated by the SEPT4 antibody was first seen at the neck region of step 9 spermatids (b), not in step 8 spermatids (a). It stayed there until early step 15 (c-d), and after that it migrated to its distal position followed by the formation of mitochondrial sheath (e-h). It still existed in the mature spermatiozoon coonecting the midpiece and the principal piece of the tail (i).

Green, SEPT4; Red, MitoTracker; Blue, DAPI.

The scale bar represents 10 μm.
