DNA strand breaks and phosphatidylserine redistribution in newly ovulated and cultured mouse and human oocytes: occurrence and relationship to apoptosis
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
This study determined the occurrence of two molecular markers of apoptosis, chromosomal DNA strand breaks and oolemma phosphatidylserine redistribution, in >200 uninseminated and unfertilized human oocytes, and >800 newly ovulated and cultured mouse oocytes. DNA breaks were analysed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUDP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) and phosphatidylserine by annexin V staining, with...
