title: Immunocytochemical localization of beta-N-acetyl glucosaminidase in human reproductive organs.
abstract: Immunocytochemical localization of hexosaminidase activity in human males revealed that the enzyme activity is localized mainly in the Sertoli cells and interstitial tissue of the testis and in the columnar cells of the epididymis. In seminal vesicles, activity was observed around the glandular epithelium in the form of fine granules.
