Detection of sperm antigens on mouse ova and early embryos

Detection of sperm antigens on mouse ova and early embryos.

Serum and colostrum antibodies against mouse sperm were developed in two rabbits after systemic and mammary gland immunizations. Indirect immunofluorescence utilizing fluorescein-labeled goat antisera against rabbit IgG and IgA, respectively, indicated that both immune serum (IS) and colostrum (Xl compared with control samples caused intensive staining of the acrosome and tail of sperm. Absorpt...

Sperm and ova as property.

To whom do sperm and ova belong? Few tissues are produced by the human body with more waste than the germ cells. Yet dominion over the germ cells, and over the early embryo that results from their union in vitro, is behind much of the emotion that modern reproductive intervention can engender. The germ cells differ from other human tissues that can be donated or transplanted because they carry ...

TERATOGENIC EFFECTS OF LITHIUM CARBONATE ON DEVELOPMENT OF MOUSE EMBRYOS

The Effects of Ethanol and Strontium on Growth and Development of Two-Cell Arrested Mouse Embryos

The development of mouse early embryos in vitro in fibroblasts and cumulus cells co-cultures supplemented with retinoic acid

This study was designed to examine the effects of retinoic acid adding to cumulus and/or fibroblast cellsmonolayer on the development of mouse early embryos. One-cell mouse embryos were obtained from NMRImice after superovulation by an intraperitoneal injection of 5 IU equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG)followed 48 hrs later by 5 IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). Mouse embryonic fibrobla...
