Evaluation of chromatin integrity in human sperm using acridine orange staining with different fixatives and after cryopreservation

Abstract excerpt

Staining of cells with acridine orange (AO) has been widely accepted as a predictor of DNA damage in many cell types. Because of variability of protocols used in previous studies, the AO staining technique has not been widely accepted as a screening test to predict DNA damage in human sperm. In order to further validate the use of AO staining, sperm were evaluated using numerous variations in the staining...
