Effect of seminal leukocytes on in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes

Monday, June 29, 2015

Leukocytospermia (1  106 leukocytes/mL), assessed by flow cytometry, does not significantly influence IVF or ICSI outcomes. The same results were obtained by using lower or higher cut-off values for leukocytospermia (from 0.2 to 2  106/mL).

Efficient cryopreservation of testicular tissue: effect of age, sample state, and concentration of cryoprotectant

Monday, June 4, 2012

Immature testicular tissue is more sensitive and shows differential cell-specificity to cryoprotectants. Dimethyl sulfoxide and ethylene glycol are ideal cryoprotectants for immature and adult testicular tissue, respectively.

Recording and sorting live human sperm undergoing acrosome reaction

Wednesday, May 30, 2012

Fluorescent Pisum sativum agglutinin rapidly labels and stabilizes the acrosomal matrix when exocytic fusion pores open in live human sperm, as assessed by confocal microscopy, electron microscopy, and flow cytometry.
