Failure to separate human x- and y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa by Sephadex gel-filtration. 1978

E Schilling, and R Lafrenz, and F Klobasa

Human spermatozoa has been filtered on Sephadex gel columns (G 50 fine powder). 50--70% of the spermatozoa put on the gel bed had been recovered within the filtrate, the remaining spermatozoa--not absorbed to gel particles--were found in the upper third of the column. The percentage of motile spermatozoa was higher (80--95%) in the first fraction as compared to the control samples (40--65%). This technique seems to be unsuitable for a successful separation of human x- and y-spermatozoa, an enrichment of x-spermatozoa couldn't be obtained within the first fractions of the filtrate.

D012730 Sex Chromosomes The homologous chromosomes that are dissimilar in the heterogametic sex. There are the X CHROMOSOME, the Y CHROMOSOME, and the W, Z chromosomes (in animals in which the female is the heterogametic sex (the silkworm moth Bombyx mori, for example)). In such cases the W chromosome is the female-determining and the male is ZZ.

D013081 Sperm Motility Movement characteristics of SPERMATOZOA in a fresh specimen. It is measured as the percentage of sperms that are moving, and as the percentage of sperms with productive flagellar motion such as rapid, linear, and forward progression.

D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
