Germ Cell–Specific Proteins AKAP4 and ASPX Facilitate Identification of Rare Spermatozoa in Non-Obstructive Azoospermia
21 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), the most severe form of male infertility, could be treated with intracytoplasmic sperm injection, providing spermatozoa were retrieved with the microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE). We hypothesized that testis-specific and germ cell–specific proteins would facilitate flow cytometry-assisted identification of rare spermatozoa in semen cell pellets of NOA patients,...
