The male-specific, cell surface component has been identified as a male-specific
transplantation antigen and named histocompatibility-Y (HY) antigen (Eichwald and Silmser …

The commercial embryo transfer industry will find immediate use for a reliable, economical
and practical procedure for identification of embryonic sex prior to transfer. Unfortunately, no …

Accurate and rapid sex determination of preimplantation embryos has great potential both in
animal breeding and in human pathology. In the past, sex determination has been …

There is a paucity of studies at the molecular level of the malespecific HY antigen despite
rapid advances in recombinant DNA technology in recent years. The major problem lies in …

The HY (male) antigen is detectable on 50% of eightcell mouse embryos. We show that 82%
of the offspring resulting from the transfer of (C57BL/6XA/J) F 1 embryos surviving treatment …

Male‐specific antigenicity (H‐Y antigen) of rat embryos has been examined, and the
feasibility of sexing rat embryos by use of H‐Y antibodies has been studied. Rat H‐Y …

Detection of genes known to be present on the mammalian Y chromosome was adapted for
sexing mouse early embryos using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Sry and …

HY antigen defined by antibody from male-sensitized female mice has been reported in
male embryos of mouse, rat, cattle, goat, pig, and sheep. We now describe the use of …

The sex of embryos was determined by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method using
the DNA fragment of a sex-related gene or Y-chromosome specific nucleotide sequence. By …

The male-specific HY antigen is present on mammalian cell membranes and has been
identified by various methods, including antiserum cytotoxicity. The objective of the present …
