Transformed spermatocytes constituting the ejaculate of an infertile man.
In the ejaculate of an infertile man exclusively free immature germ cells were found. Electron microscopic examination of their cytology revealed some characteristics of primary spermatocytes. After having been released from the germinal epithelium, these cells, however, have developed into totally new cell forms, which finally degenerate and disintegrate.
