Abstract
EXPERIMENTALLY induced “allergic” aspermatogenesis is being accorded increasing attention as a model for autoimmune disorders. Considerable effort has been spent on characterizing the aspermatogenic antigens1, but the contribution of adjuvants has received less attention. Certain plant oils can replace the paraffin oil of Freund's adjuvant2, but the bacterial component of Freund's adjuvant (M. tuberculosis, M. butyricum) is not effectively substituted3.
