Ultrastructural Morphology of Sperm from Human Globozoospermia
Globozoospermia is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of sperm with round head, lacking acrosome. Coiling tail around the nucleus has been reported since early human studies, but no specific significance has conferred it. By contrast, studies on animal models suggest that coiling tail around the nucleus could represent a crucial step of defective spermatogenesis, resulting in round-h...
متن کاملUltrastructural and immunocytochemical studies of enamel tufts in human permanent teeth.
Enamel tufts were exposed after decalcification of the enamel matrix and their fine structures and immunocytochemical characteristics were examined. Under the binocular microscope and the scanning electron microscope (SEM), enamel tufts appeared as corrugated ribbon-like structures located on the dentine parallel to the tooth axis. SEM observation disclosed enamel tufts as bundles of well exten...
متن کاملUltrastructural immunocytochemical localisation of lysozyme in human bronchial glands.
An immunocytochemical unlabelled antibody method using rabbit antihuman lysozyme, antirabbit immunoglobulin, and soluble rabbit antihorseradish peroxidase/horseradish peroxidase complexes was used to study the fine structural distribution of lysozyme in human bronchial glands. None was identified in mucous cells but there was heavy staining of the serous cell granules. The serous cell granules ...
متن کاملDoes ICSI require acrosomal disruption? An ultrastructural study.
BACKGROUND Aggressive immobilization of sperm prior to ICSI significantly improves fertilization rates, but the mechanism of this effect is not yet clear. This study was performed in order to assess the characteristics of mechanically immobilized human sperm by transmission electron microscope (TEM). METHODS Sperm obtained from ejaculated semen samples from three different donors were immobil...
متن کاملUltrastructural immunocytochemical studies as a means of distinguishing between transmitter and non-transmitter glutamate.
Introduction Amino acid immunocytochemistry is based on the simple concept that free amino acids can be made immunogenic by coupling them to carrier proteins by means of glutaraldehyde [ 1,2]. Antibodies raised against such conjugates can be used in immunocytochemical studies of glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue [l-61. The glutaraldehyde fixation serves a dual purpose: it secures an optimum preservat...
