Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Spermatozoa and spermatids are immature haploid germ cells derived from secondary spermatocytes and spermatogonial stem cells by meiotic division. These haploid cells keep themselves secluded from the blood circulation system in terms of the blood-testis barrier, in order to avoid the extreme immune response to the attack of a so-called autoimmune disorder.
