TRANSCRIÇÃO
The protocol demonstrated here enables the labeling and isolation of specific cell lineages that are present in ovarian follicles beginning at early antral stages, thereby enabling the high resolution analysis and culture. This highly precise appr

Here, we present protocols for the identification and purification of ovarian cells from antral follicles. We elaborate on methods for processing whole ovaries for the cryopreservation of cortical strips while also harvesting intact antral follicles that are treated enzymatically to liberate multiple follicle resident cell types, including granulosa, theca, endothelial, hematopoietic, and stromal cells.
