TI  - Distribution of human leukocyte antigen-ABC and -D/DR antigens in the unfixed 
      human testis.
PG  - 47-51
AB  - The distribution of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens in the 
      unfixed human testicle was studied by indirect immunofluorescence. Three murine 
      monoclonal antibodies to the common determinants of class I MHC antigens (human 
      leukocyte antigen [HLA]-ABC) and three against class II MHC antigens (HLA-D/DR 
      antigens), respectively, were utilized. No class I MHC antigens were identified 
      on developing testicular germ cells including spermatozoa, but interstitial cells 
      between the seminiferous tubules (including Leydig cells) and blood vessel 
      endothelium expressed the antigen. Class II MHC antigens were not found on any 
      cells within the seminiferous tubules. However, the class II antigen was 
      identified on dendritic-like cells between the seminiferous tubules and on vessel 
      endothelium, although its expression was expectedly limited. These findings 
      indicate that human testicular germ cells express minimal or no MHC antigens.
