Evaluation of chromatin condensation in human spermatozoa: a flow cytometric assay using acridine orange staining
1 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
The quality of sperm chromatin is an important factor in fertilization and is especially critical where one spermatozoon is artificially selected for fertilizing an egg (as in intracytoplasmic sperm injection). In this study, flow cytometry after staining of human spermatozoa with Acridine Orange was used to study chromatin structure. A method is described for estimating the percentage of cells in a human sperm...
