Abstract: The aim was to investigate the effects of sertoli cells (SCs) on the growth an d proliferatio n of primordial germ cells (PGCs). Primordial germ cells were co-cultured with homologue fibroblasts from genital ridge or with sertoli cells. Result: When co -cultured with SCs, PGCs colonies and times of passage were greater than those co-cultured with homologue fibroblasts. Conclusion: Sertoli cells can enhance p rimordial germ cells' proliferation in cell culture.

Key words: sertoli cells, cell culture, primor dial germ cells
