Spermadhesin AQN1 Is a Candidate Receptor Molecule Involved in the Formation of the Oviductal Sperm Reservoir in the Pig

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the sperm lectin AQN1 fulfils the criteria for an oviduct receptor in the pig and may play a role in the formation of the oVIDuctal sperm reservoir.
Journal ArticleDOI

Function of the mammalian oviductal sperm reservoir.

TL;DR: Spermadhesins, a new class of animal lectins and the major secretory products of the porcine seminal vesicle, associate with the sperm surface at ejaculation and are candidate molecules for the receptors of the epithelial carbohydrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbohydrate-based interactions of oviductal sperm reservoir formation-studies in the pig.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the carboyhdrate‐based mechanisms underlying the formation of the oviductal sperm reservoir in the pig is the result of the concerted action of at least the high‐affinity binding sites for oligomannose or nonreducing terminal mannose residues and low‐Affinity binding of galactose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitrification of human ICSI/IVF spermatozoa without cryoprotectants: new capillary technology.

TL;DR: The newly developed technology of aseptic vitrification of human spermatozoa in capillaries can effectively preserve these cells from cryo-injures and has a great potential for use in ICSI/IVF.
