Abstract
Magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) with annexin V microbeads recognizes externalized phosphatidylserine (PS) residues on the surface of apoptotic spermatozoa. The successful use of this novel technique applied to a highly apoptotic semen sample before performing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is reported here. The use of annexin V microbeads for selecting non-apoptotic spermatozoa seems to reduce the percentage of altered cells, improving the chance of pregnancy after ICSI.
