A series of semen samples from recently fertile men was obtained by masturbation. They were washed and placed in short term culture in BWW medium, and labelled either with tritiated uridine or tritiated tyrosine. Control samples were labelled in the presence of actinomycin D and puromycin respectively, and examined by light and electron microscopy. Ejaculated spermatocytes, spermatids of various stages and certain anucleate bodies proved to be labelled with tritiated tyrosine and hence to be protein synthetic. Ejaculated spermatocytes were also active in RNA synthesis. Macrophages and neutrophil leucocytes both heavily incorporated tritiated uridine and tritiated tyrosine. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to the possible role of exfoliated sperm precursors in ejaculates.
通过手淫获取了近期有生育能力男性的一系列精液样本。将这些样本洗涤后置于BWW培养基中进行短期培养,并用氚标记的尿苷或氚标记的酪氨酸进行标记。对照样本分别在放线菌素D和嘌呤霉素存在的情况下进行标记,并通过光学显微镜和电子显微镜检查。射精的精母细胞、不同阶段的精子细胞以及某些无核小体被证明用氚标记的酪氨酸进行了标记,因此具有蛋白质合成活性。射精的精母细胞在RNA合成方面也很活跃。巨噬细胞和中性粒细胞都大量掺入了氚标记的尿苷和氚标记的酪氨酸。结合射精中脱落的精子前体的可能作用,对这些结果的意义进行了讨论。
