Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical (anti-CD3, CD20, CD45RO, CD68 antibodies) studies of human epididymis were performed. In electron microscopy, lymphocytes and macrophages were observed between epididymal epithelial cells and in the inerstitial tissue. However, immunohistochemical reactions with anti-CD3, CD45RO and CD68 antibodies were positive mainly in cells located the interstitial tissue. The reaction with anti-CD20 antibody was positive neither in epithelium, nor in the interstitial tissue.
