MATERIALS AND METHODSLiquefied donor semen testing negative for HPV was processed through the swim-up method. Briefly, the liquefied semen was mixed in Hams' F-10 (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY) culture medium and was centrifuged for 10 rain at 300g. The resultant sperm pellet was layered over with 1.0 ml culture medium and incubated for 30 min at 37 C in an air incubator to allow the motile sperm to swim out of the pellet. After incubation, the top 0.5 ml was removed (total motility, over 50%; count, over 20 million/ml) and an aliquot was frozen as the untreated sperm control. The remainder of the specimen was used for the HPV DNA procedure described below. HPV DNA (80-98 bp) was chosen as the foreign DNA because of its availability and because of the relevance of HPV infections in the reproductive tract.The resuspended sperm cells were added to an equal volume of a mixture of two types of HPV DNA fragments (approximately I~ g/~ l each) from HPV types 16 and 18. The HPV DNA fragments were previously synthesized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers specific for these HPV types as reported previously: Type 16, 98 bp; and type t8, 80 bp (9). All HPV primers target the E6-E7 open reading frame
