Auto-immunization

AUTO-IMMUNIZATION

  • It may play a role in a few cases of testicular degeneration.
  • Degeneration has been produced experimentally in rams, bulls and laboratory animals by the subcutaneous injection of autologous testicular material, together with Freund’s adjuvant. Degeneration may occur with or without inflammation.

No natural cases of testicular degeneration due to auto-immunization have been reported.
