Functional analyses of mammalian round spermatid for fertilization

The goal of the fertilization assumes he fusion of the sex genome in the egg cytoplasm. We examined fertilization establishment ability of the round spermatid of the mammal that was assumed to be extremely low, using human and a laboratory animal (a mouse, rabbit). Sperm function to accomplish a major event of the fertilization after the sperm entry, oocyte activation ability and sperm centrosomal function were found to be decreased. Furthermore, as one of the methods to supplement ability for oocyte activation that decreased with round spermatid, we developed the co-culture system with hormone addition and Sertoli cells of the mouse round spermatid.
