METHOD FOR THE EXPLORATION OF THE PRESENCE OF ENDOCELLULAR INFECTIOUS AGENTS IN SPERM CELLS

摘要

The present invention describes a method for the exploration of the presence of Chlamydia, viruses and other infectious agents in spermatozoids via examinations applied with combinational use of the immunofluorescence technique and flow cytometry. The exploration is intracellular for microorganisms being adhered on the spermatozoid surface or found inside the spermatozoids, with the use of DNA relaxation treatment.
