Abstract
Spermatogonial transplantation is the unequivocal method to detect spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) based strictly on the functional definition of stem cells - the cells' regenerative capacity. This method further allows for SSC quantification. A weakness of spermatogonial transplantation is its time-consuming nature; it takes 2 months to confirm the production of terminally differentiated cells in spermatogenesis, spermatozoa, in mice, which gives the assay endpoint. Using the mouse as the model system, we here describe the basic techniques of spermatogonial transplantation and provide practical guidance to successfully carry out this technique and to interpret data generated.
