Sperm Binding to Epithelial Oviduct Explants in Bulls with Different Nonreturn Rates Investigated with a New In Vitro Model1
1 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
A new in vitro method was developed for analyzing the capacity of sperm to bind to oviductal epithelium to determine whether this binding capacity could be used to predict nonreturn rates (NRR). Sperm binding was evaluated by counting 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzimidazolyl-carbocyanine iodide (JC-1)-labeled spermatozoa attached to oviductal epithelium and by measuring the surface area of the...
