Greater numbers of human spermatozoa associate with endosalpingeal cells derived from the isthmus compared with those from the ampulla

Abstract excerpt

A simple co-culture bioassay system was used to investigate whether or not the anatomical origin affected the ability of epithelial cells from the human uterine (Fallopian) tube to 'bind' spermatozoa. This study was also used to identify some of the factors which may be involved in the regulation of sperm-epithelial interactions in vitro by comparing different tissue culture models and assessing the effect of...
