Comet assay of cumulus cell DNA status and the relationship to oocyte fertilization via intracytoplasmic sperm injection*
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
This paper postulates that in the ovary, the close association between the cumulus cells and the oocytes permits the fertilizing ability of the oocytes to be determined indirectly through cumulus cell DNA status. The objective was to use a modified comet assay to analyse cumulus cell DNA and relate the data to oocyte fertilization after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures. Oocytes were retrieved (n...
