Abstract

To date, methods for quantifying cellular proliferation within the human ovary have relied primarily on static measurements at the time of tissue recovery, such as labeling for ki67 and phosphohistone-H3. Here, we describe a method based on consecutive injection of two thymidine analogues, ethynyl deoxyuridine (EdU) and 5-chloro-2′-deoxyuridine (CldU), in a human ovarian xenograft model, allowing resolution of cellular division within discrete temporal windows of follicle development and observation of a previously undescribed influence of lead follicles on the proliferative activity of surrounding stroma and preantral follicles.
