Coitus, which precedes internal fertilisation, is a unique physiological event which allows motile allogeneic spermatozoa to enter the female host and invade her tissues. The cyclic cellular proliferation observed in the thymus of the female rat may be an important preparation of her immune system for this event.
交配发生在体内受精之前,是一个独特的生理事件,它使具有运动能力的异体精子能够进入雌性宿主并侵入其组织。在雌性大鼠胸腺中观察到的周期性细胞增殖可能是其免疫系统针对这一事件的重要准备。
