Porcine sperm bind to an oviduct glycan coupled to glass surfaces as a model of sperm interaction with the oviduct

Abstract During transport through the oviduct, sperm interact with epithelial cells by attaching to specific glycans, a mechanism believed to select sperm and prolong their viability. An in vitro model of sperm-oviduct interactions was developed, consisting of a glass surface (either a slide or a co...
