Comparison of cellular and secreted proteins of macrophages from the testis and peritoneum on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels: evidence of tissue specific function.

Abstract excerpt

It has been shown that the testis contains a population of cells with many characteristics typical of macrophages of other tissues. However, these macrophages are unique in that they secrete a product(s) that is responsible for stimulating testosterone secretion by Leydig cells while peritoneal macrophages have no similar effect. The purpose of the present study was to compare the pattern of cellular and secreted...
