Spermatophagy Induced by Spermatozoa in Whole Blood Cultures from Infertile Husbands and Their Wives

Spermatophagy was induced by washed spermatozoa in whole blood culture of infertile husbands and their wives. In some preparations, macrophages, with an average diameter of 14.9 ± 5.4 μm, were found in actively phagocytosed spermatozoa. There was correlation between differential count of spermatopha...

Zusammenfassung:Spermatophagy was induced by washed spermatozoa in whole blood culture of infertile husbands and their wives. In some preparations, macrophages, with an average diameter of 14.9 ± 5.4 μm, were found in actively phagocytosed spermatozoa. There was correlation between differential count of spermatophages and the Stimulation Index of lymphoblasts as expressed by 3H-thymidine uptake.
