Immunological Differentiation of Epididymal and Seminal Spermatozoa of the Rabbit

Alfred J. Weil 1

1 Department of Bacteriology, Bronx Hospital, New York

Rabbit spermatozoa from the epididymis lack the antigenic material present on seminal spermatozoa, which these latter cells have in common with the seminal plasma. This observation provides further support for the indirect evidence, obtained previously, that antigenic material is taken up by the spermatozoa from the seminal plasma.
