The blood–testis barrier is a physical barrier between the blood vessels and the seminiferous tubules of the animal testes. The name blood-testis barrier is misleading in that it is not a blood-organ barrier in a strict sense but is formed between Sertoli cells of the seminiferous tubule and as such isolates the further developed stages of germ cells from the blood. A more correct term is the Sertoli cell barrier (SCB).
