Abstract:

Introduction: To evaluate the 8 layer discontinues puresperm gradient in separation of human spermatozoa according to sex chromosomes by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Material and Methods: This study was carried out on three patient referring to Royan fertility and infertility center. Semen analysis was assessed according to WHO criteria. Each sample was divided into two aliquots, one as a control was washed with phosphate bufer saline and another one for processing through 8- step discontinues puresperm gradient 35%-84% (7% differences between each subsequent layers). After centrifugation, sperm from top and bottom fraction was aspirated and fixed on slide, FISH procedure was performad by using X and Y specific probes. DNA probes bind to alpha satellite complementary sequence on centromeric region of X and Y chromosomes. More than 1000 sperm were scored for each sample. The proportion of X and Y bearing sperm chromosomes was determined by presence of red or green florescent signals. Results: Statistical analysis by chi-square test revealed no significant differences in the X:Y probration in the 84% layer compared to the controls. But there were significantly differences in the 35% layer compared to 84% layers and the controls (P=0.001, P=0.006 respectively), and X bearing spermatozoa was enriched in bottom layer. Conclusion: The result of this study showed that 8-step discontinues Puresperm gradient is not so reliable for separating X and Y bearings spermatozoa.

effect of combined density gradient centrifugation on x- and y- sperm separation and chromatin integrity

background: it has been claimed that by using different washing methods, the sperms can be separated according to size, motility, density, chromosomal content and surface markings and charge. these methods also reduce sperm chromatin deficiencies and screen the sperms before applying in assisted reproduction techniques. objective: this study compared simple density gradient methods and a combin...

Verification of flow cytometorically-sorted X- and Y-bearing porcine spermatozoa and reanalysis of spermatozoa for DNA content using the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique.

Flow cytometric sperm sorting based on X and Y sperm DNA difference has been established as the only effective method for sexing the spermatozoa of mammals. The standard method for verifying the purity of sorted X and Y spermatozoa has been to reanalyze sorted sperm aliquots. We verified the purity of flow-sorted porcine X and Y spermatozoa and accuracy of DNA reanalysis by fluorescence in situ...
