The populations of interstitial cells in the testis of three 2-3 month old monkeys and of three 5-6 years old adults (Macaca fascicularis) were analyzed: percentage, mitotic index and labeling index after 3H-thymidine injection. In the young monkey and the adult well differentiated Leydig cells incorporate the precursor as fibroblast-like cells. This demonstrates their ability of renewal.
分析了三只2 - 3个月大的幼猴和三只5 - 6岁成年猕猴（食蟹猴）睾丸间质细胞的数量：注射3H-胸腺嘧啶核苷后的百分比、有丝分裂指数和标记指数。在幼猴和成年猴中，分化良好的睾丸间质细胞会像成纤维细胞一样摄取前体。这证明了它们的更新能力。
