The testis is an immunologically privileged site. Since earlier studies excluded testicular steroid production as an essential factor, the present study evaluates the role of germ cells and spermatogenesis in the privileged survival of allografts within the testis. We used a Sertoli cell-only testis model and adolescent unilateral cryptorchidism in inbred rats to eliminate germ cells and spermatogenesis selectively.

It is also known as the wall of the seminiferous tubules. The cells in the epithelium are connected via tight junctions. There are two types of cells in the germinal epithelium. The large Sertoli cells (which are not dividing) function as supportive cells to the developing sperm.
