Abstract
Semen of the rabbit, unlike that of many mammals, normally contains a high concentration of particles in addition to the spermatozoa. These particles have received very little attention by students of the male reproductive products. The particles can be separated from the spermatozoa only with considerable difficulty. Therefore, they are hazards as contaminants of `washed' spermatozoan suspensions and should be taken into account in biochemical, immunological and even fertilization studies on ejaculated rabbit spermatozoa. In addition, the nature of these particles, their origin and possible role in reproduction should be of some intrinsic interest. Accordingly, the ultrastructure and some immunological properties of the particles were examined. Semen samples were obtained by means of an artificial vagina from Dutch Belted rabbits. Vasectomized males provided spermatozoon-free semen samples which served as the source of seminal
