Transgenic Mouse Sperm that Have Green Acrosome and Red Mitochondria Allow Visualization of Sperm and Their Acrosome Reaction in Vivo
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
In the present paper, we introduce a transgenic mouse line whose sperm express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in their acrosome and red fluorescent protein (RFP) in their mitochondria [B6D2F1- Tg(CAG/su9-DsRed2, Acr3-EGFP)RBGS002Osb]. The dual fluorescent sperm showed normal fertilizing ability in both in vivo and in vitro fertilization and the sperm could be observed through uterine and oviductal walls when...
