title: [The morphofunctional properties of the interstitial endocrinocytes of human testes cultured in vitro].
abstract: The authors demonstrated the possibility to obtain the pure culture of interstitial endocrinocytes from the testis of human embryo aged 14-24 weeks. Morphofunctional study of in vitro cultures revealed the presence of interstitial endocrinocytes in the monolayer. The ability of these cells to synthesize hormones preserved within the whole period of cultivation was confirmed by an isotope radiology method. The culture of interstitial endocrinocytes could be used in transplantation endocrinology for the treatment of patients with androgenic insufficiency.
