Sperm-Oviduct Interaction: Induction of Capacitation and Preferential Binding of Uncapacitated Spermatozoa to Oviductal Epithelial Cells in Porcine Species1
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
After mating, inseminated spermatozoa are transported to the oviduct. They attach to and interact with oviductal epithelial cells (OEC). To investigate sperm-OEC interactions, we used chlortetracycline to study the capacitation status of boar spermatozoa in coculture with homologous OEC and cells of nonreproductive origin (LLC-PK1, porcine kidney epithelial cell line). Boar spermatozoa were cocultured with OEC...
