It has been found that when the Y chromosome fromMus musculus domesticus(YDOM) is placed onto the C57BL/6J (B6) mouse background, the XY progeny (B6.YDOM) develop ovaries or ovotestes but not normal testes during fetal life. We examined the ontogeny of the abnormal testicular differentiation in the B6.YDOMovotestis by immunocytochemical staining for Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS). We found that the B6.YDOMovotestis initiated testicular differentiation later in development than did the control B6 testis. When the YDOMwas transferred onto the SJL/J mouse background by crossing B6.YDOMmales with SJL/J females, all XY progeny developed normal testes. The onset of testicular differentiation was at the same developmental stage as in the B6 male fetus. These results suggest that the delay of testicular differentiation is not due to the effect of the YDOMchromosome itself, but due to improper interaction of the testis-determining gene on the YDOMchromosome with autosomal genes of B6. In addition, we found a close correlation between the arrest of germ cells at the prespermatogonia stage and MIS production of adjacent somatic cells in the B6.YDOMovotestis. This result may support the hypothesis that MIS is involved in the regulation of germ cell differentiation.
