Abstract

A recently developed collagen gel culture technique has been applied to study on growth in tissue of human testicular tissue. Minimum Eagle's medium supplemented with amino acid, 10% Fetal Bovine Serum and 0.1mM non-essential amino acid are emploid. Tissue fragments on collagan gel are fixed at time intervals for the histologic findings of testis. The mature spermatids are maintained for 2 weeks and can be observed until four weeks. But the rate of glucose consumption is increased contrary to histologic findings.
