Testis/sperm-specific histone 2B in the sperm of donors and subfertile patients: variability and relation to chromatin packaging

16 Nov 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The compaction of human sperm chromatin is the result of replacement of approximately 85% of histones with protamines. Germ-line testis/sperm-specific histone 2B (TSH2B) has been detected in only approximately 30% of mature spermatozoa. Its level in the semen of subfertile patients varies; its function is unknown. We evaluated TSH2B in the sperm samples of 23 donors and 49 subfertile patients and...
