Cryopreservation Alters the Levels of the Bull Sperm Surface Protein P25b
10 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Fertility of frozen-thawed bull sperm is reduced by cryopreservation. Freezing-thawing procedures can result in as much as a sevenfold fertility decrease. Sperm mortality and loss of motility do not fully explain the reduced fertility of cryopreserved semen; they may be partially explained by the loss of sperm surface proteins, which are necessary for fertilization. We have previously identified P25b, a sperm...
