Characterisation of a subpopulation of sperm with massive nuclear damage, as recognised with the sperm chromatin dispersion test
26 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Assessment of human sperm DNA fragmentation by the sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) test is based on the detection of haloes of spreading DNA loops after sequential DNA denaturing and protamine removal. After the SCD test, sperm without DNA fragmentation show chromatin haloes emerging from the central nuclear core, while sperm containing fragmented DNA present small or no haloes. The nuclear degraded sperm are...
