The Ability of Dehydrated Hamster and Human Sperm Nuclei to Develop into Pronuclei1
1 Aug 1992
Abstract excerpt
To determine whether the nuclei of mature mammalian spermatozoa are resistant to dehydrated conditions, nuclei of hamster and human spermatozoa were freeze-dried or treated with various dehydrating agents before injection into hamster oocytes. Freeze-dried nuclei remained capable of developing into pronuclei even after 12 mo of storage at 4 degrees C. The level of DNA synthetic activity in the sperm (male)...
