| Popis: | A passive direct technique was developed in order to demonstrate cytophilic activity against homologous spermatozoa is sera of guinea pigs immunized with homologous testicular antigen. A natural adherence between spermatozoa and normal macrophages, called natural cytophilic activity, was found. Specificity of the technique was established since high levels of cytophilic activity were present when each antiserum was made to react with the corresponding antigen. Peritoneal cells other than macrophages did not attach sperm cells to their surface. |
