ABSTRACT
Immunocytochemical study on the localization of inhibin in the testes of human, bonnet monkey, dog and rat was carried out using indirect immunoperoxidase technique, in order to investigate the cell types involved in inhibin production/storage. A positive reaction was observed in the testes of human, monkey and dog while it was negative in rat testis using specific antiserum to human testicular inhibin generated against homogeneous preparation of human testicular inhibin in our laboratory. Inhibin was found to be localized in Sertoli cells, spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes of human, monkey and dog testes. A weak positive reaction was observed in spermatids of human testis only. Interestingly, Leydig cells of human, monkey and dog testes showed positive reaction indicating presence of inhibin in these cells also.
