Human testicular cultures. II. Sertoli cells

A T Chen et al. In Vitro. 1975 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Two cell types, one epitheloid and the other fibroblast-like, were found in human testicular cultures derived from testes of patients. Ultrastructural studies indicated that, whereas the epitheloid 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.
