Journal of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer : IVF, 6(4), 207-212 (1989-08-01)
Penetration of zona-free hamster oocytes by human spermatozoa after preincubation with BWW medium (standard technique) or a buffer system containing egg yolk (TESTY) was compared by applying both treatments to aliquots of 60 ejaculates from 34 patients. The TESTY-treated spermatozoa

We examined the suitability of nine organic buffers for studying calcium binding to albumin by equilibrium dialysis. Results obtained with defatted human serum albumin showed that 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) and 2-([tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl] amino)ethanesulfonic acid were superior. Scatchard analysis of the experimental

Several cryoprotective media currently in use for human sperm cryopreservation have been directly compared with each other by use of a static vapor freezing technique. The TEST-citrate-yolk buffers with glycerol resulted in the highest motility and longevity after thawing; thus

The growth, differentiation, and death/survival of spermatogonia are precisely regulated for the proper production of spermatozoa. We have previously shown that Bcl-2 ectopically expressed in spermatogonia caused the inhibition of normal spermatogonial apoptosis and the subsequent failure of differentiation in

Preservation solutions for short-term storage of isolated donor corneas for use in penetrating keratoplasty have all been based on tissue culture medium, on the assumption that media designed to maintain the viability of cells at physiological temperatures will also provide
