Table 1: Level of oogenesis in vaccinated and control female mice as evaluated by the presence of different follicles and corpus luteum (CL) in theovary at terminal sacrifice. Each stained section was examined at low (10X) and high (40X, 100X) power microscopic field, and the number ofpremordial, primary, growing and graffian follicles, healthy CL and regressing CL were counted and compared with that of untreated controls.Significant difference (٭٭p>0.001, ٭p>0.01) in the count of growing follicles, graffian follicles and regressing CL were seen in Group 2 and Group3 mice compared to Group 1 control.
