Testicular x-ray irradiation in adult mice as a model to study spermatogonial proliferation.
Testicular irradiation (300 r) of sexually mature mice provides a good model to study spermatogonial proliferation. DNA specific activity can be used under these conditions as a suitable assay of the proliferation and differentiation of testicular cells.
