Molecular analyses in mammalian meiotic cells have been hindered by the difficulty in isolating stage-specific cell populations, and this is especially true for early meiotic prophase stages ( leptotene and zygotene). Here, we describe a method for obtaining cells in different spermatogenic stages from rodents including lepto-zygotene meiocytes at very high purity levels. The procedure includes an approach for the mechanical disaggregation of the testicular tissue, staining with a vital, noncytotoxic dye that is excitable with a blue laser, isolation of the cell populations by flow sorting, and different alternative protocols for the collection of the sorted cells.
