Abstract
In an attempt to isolate the seminiferous tubule basement membrane from testes of normal rats, a preparation (STBM) was obtained by a method involving the use of sieves, sonication and differential centrifugation. Electron microscopic studies show that this material is mainly composed of basement membranes. A low proportion of collagen fibrils and some cellular debris are also present.Keywords
