Sperm quality assays: How good are they? The horse perspective
1Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Texas A&M University, College Station, 77843, TX, United States.
Abstract:
Sperm quality assays have increased in number in the last 10 years. Most of these assays are flow cytometry based in application and are modified from assays that have been developed to measure somatic cell function. The goal of any sperm quality assay should be to advance the clinicians/researchers understanding of sperm cell function and the relationship to fertility. While these assays appear to measure somatic cell-like functions in sperm there tends to be little understanding how the results of these assays relate to fertility.
