Abstract

The regional testicular lymph nodes of vasectomised rats, and of sham-operated controls, have been examined, in stained smears of cell suspensions, for the presence of spermatozoa, at intervals of 1-10 weeks after operation. Very few, if any, spermatozoa were found in either group. These findings differ from those reported in rams and boars by Ball & Setchell (1983), and indicate species differences in the mode of presentation of sperm autoantigens to the regional nodes after vasectomy.
