Embodiment Construction
[0059] An example of an embodiment of the invention follows:
[0060] 1. fixation of sperm cells including sperm
[0061] After semen collection and liquefaction, spermatozoa were centrifuged and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 30 min at 4°C. PFA works by cross-linking proteins, thereby inactivating pathogens, and immobilizing putative autoantibodies that have been attached to sperm, making them detectable, if that is desired. In some rare cases, some epitopes may be altered or destroyed so that they cannot be detected by certain antibodies. In this case, surface staining can be performed prior to fixation. Furthermore, PFA fixation preserves the physical properties of the cells: namely, after fixation, these cells exhibit the same scattering properties as those performed by flow cytometry during the analysis. Furthermore, PFA fixation allows the subsequent application of an extracellular or intracellular staining procedure.
