Characterization of M540 bodies in human semen: evidence that they are apoptotic bodies

22 Jun 2007

Abstract excerpt

Our group has recently identified, in human semen, round bodies of different size and density which were termed M540 bodies due to their staining with the fluorochrome merocyanine 540. Here, we investigate the hypothesis that such structures represent apoptotic bodies. To this aim, by both fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and fluorescence microscopy, we examined the occurrence of apoptotic markers such...
