Analysis of in situ zymography assay. Open images acquired at the end of each experiment (both bright-field and fluorescent images) in ImageJ. Count the total number of follicles using the multi-point tool in the bright-field image. In this example, there are a total of 29 follicles. Then, count the total number of follicles with posterior green fluorescence in the green-fluorescent image. Before taking the image, most of the follicles identified with enzymatic activity were segregated toward the top of the image. In this example, there are a total of 12 follicles with posterior green fluorescence; therefore, 41.4% of follicles had enzymatic activity.
