Mouse peritoneal macrophages were cultured in vitro in the presence of autologous spermatozoa. The spermatozoa were found to be phagocytosed and degraded, with accumulation of pigment in the cytoplasm, during the first 5 days.
The inflammatory reaction to extravasated spermatozoa was studied in mice by subcutaneous injection of small numbers of such cells. Spermatic granulomata developed several days later, probably as a result of the rather indigestible nature of many spermatozoal components. The granulomata persisted for several days before healing started.
