Human sperm chemotaxis: both the oocyte and its surrounding cumulus cells secrete sperm chemoattractants

17 Feb 2005

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human sperm chemotaxis to pre-ovulatory follicular fluid is well established in vitro. However, it is not known whether the female's oocyte-cumulus complex secretes sperm chemoattractants subsequent to ovulation (for enabling sperm chemotaxis within the Fallopian tube) and, if so, which of these cell types--the oocyte or the cumulus oophorus--is the physiological origin of the secreted...
