Abstract

The cellular distribution of H-Y antigen within the seminiferous tubules of testes from both 20-day-old and adult rats has been examined immunohistochemically. Large amounts of diffuse-staining material surrounding the germ cells were observed within the tubules of 20-day-old rats while the germ cells appeared to have little H-Y positive material on them. In the sexually mature rat, the seminiferous tubules contained cells at various stages of development. Peroxidase staining was evident on many, but not all of these cells. On spermatids and spermatozoa with cytoplasmic droplets attached, peroxidase staining appeared to be present in only a proportion of these cells.
