Marine Antifreeze Proteins: Structure, Function, and Application to Cryopreservation as a Potential Cryoprotectant
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are biological antifreezes with unique properties, including thermal hysteresis(TH),ice recrystallization inhibition(IRI),and interaction with membranes and/or membrane proteins. These properties have been utilized in the preservation of biological samples at low temperatures. Here, we review the structure and function of marine-derived AFPs, including moderately acti...
متن کاملCryopreservation of Rat Sperm
The laboratory rat, Rattus norvegicus, was the first mammalian species domesticated for scientific research, which work dating back to before 1850. From this auspicious beginning, the rat has become the most widely studied experimental animal model for biomedical research (Jacob, 1999). Since the development of the first inbred rat strain by King 1909, over 500 inbred rat strains have been deve...
متن کاملApplication of seminal plasma in sex-sorting and sperm cryopreservation.
Substantial dilution of boar semen during processing decreased the concentration of seminal plasma, perhaps contributing to the decline in sperm quality after cryopreservation and sex-sorting. Results of replacing seminal plasma in investigations from many laboratories have been contradictory. Results and discussion here suggest that whereas membrane status can be influenced by seminal plasma, ...
متن کاملAntifreeze proteins
The antifreeze protein (AFP) activity is explained using two models. The first model is using ice binding and the second is using antiice structuralization of water molecules. The description of AFP function using anti-ice structuralization of water molecules is less explored. Therefore, it is of interest to explain AFP function using this model. Protein folding is often described using models ...
متن کاملEffects of Three Different Types of Antifreeze Proteins on Mouse Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Transplantation
BACKGROUND Ovarian tissue (OT) cryopreservation is effective in preserving fertility in cancer patients who have concerns about fertility loss due to cancer treatment. However, the damage incurred at different steps during the cryopreservation procedure may cause follicular depletion; hence, preventing chilling injury would help maintain ovarian function. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to ...
