FUNDAMENTAL CRYOBIOLOGY OF MACAQUE SPERMATOZOA

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。目的：开发高效的猕猴精子冷冻保存技术，为人工授精和体外受精的成功繁殖提供技术支持。关于非人灵长类动物精子的基本低温生物学和生物物理学知之甚少。该项目的主要目的是对猕猴精子的基本低温生物学有一个清晰的认识。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Objective: The development of efficient macaque sperm cryopreservation would aid in successful propagation of germplasm through artificial insemination (AI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs. Little is known regarding the fundamental cryobiology and biophysics of nonhuman primate sperm. The main objective of this project is to develop a clear understanding of the fundamental cryobiology of macaque sperm.
