Abstract
Immunohistochemical and morphological examination of 50 bilateral testicular biopsies of infertile men shows the presence of immunoglobulin in 20% of the cases, suggesting that testicular immune phenomena might be implicated in the pathogenesis of infertility. Several observations make it clear that immune phenomena are labile and that only a multidisciplinary and dynamic approach can bring some progression in this field.Keywords
