## Abstract The presence of surfaceβrecognition mechanisms between somatic and germ cells of the seminiferous epithelium has been studied in the rat by an assay in vitro based on the ability of homogeneous populations of spermatogenic cells, at specific differentiative stages, to adhere to monolaye
An in vitro culture system using Sertoli cells was employed to assess the expression of component genes pertinent to occluding junctions (OJ) (such as zonula occludens-1, ZO-1), anchoring junctions (AJ) (such as N-cadherin and β€-catenin), and communicating gap junctions (GJ) (such as connexin 33, Cx
Intermediate filaments in Sertoli cells have a well-defined pattern of distribution. They form a basally situated perinuclear network from which filaments extend peripherally to adhesion plaques at the plasma membrane and to sites of codistribution with other major elements of the cytoskeleton, part
