  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR IMPROVING SPERM FUNCTIONALITY
    Publication number: 20140315185
    Abstract: Methods for improving the functionality and/or fertility of sperm, for example, by enhancing motility and extending the lifespan of sperm in the FRT, by adding functional molecules of interest attached to a membrane anchoring agent-PEG conjugate to the surface of the sperm are provided. Such methods may be used in AI to reduce the number of sperm needed for insemination and to improve conception rates.

  • MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR SPERM SEX SELECTION
    Publication number: 20090208977
    Abstract: Materials and Methods for the separation of X- and Y-chromosome bearing sperm, for example in a semen sample, are provided. The methods involve contacting the semen sample with a binding agent, such as an antibody, that specifically binds to an antigen that is specific for an X- or Y-chromosome. Kits for use in the methods are also provided.
