Human Testicular Cultures. II. Sertoli Cells

Two cell types, one epithelioid and the other fibroblast-like, were found in human testicular cultures derived from testes of patients. Ultrastructural studies indicated that, whereas the epithelioid cells were Sertoli cells, the fibroblast-like cells were fibroblasts. The Sertoli cells could mainta...

Zusammenfassung:Two cell types, one epithelioid and the other fibroblast-like, were found in human testicular cultures derived from testes of patients. Ultrastructural studies indicated that, whereas the epithelioid cells were Sertoli cells, the fibroblast-like cells were fibroblasts. The Sertoli cells could maintain growth for a period of more than 4 months. In cultures derived from normal testes, only fibroblasts were observed.
