Human sperm function was compared in co-culture with monolayers of oviduct epithelial
cells (OEC) from three species, human, macaque and bovine. For all species, freeze-thawed …

Formation of a prefertilization sperm reservoir in mammals is thought to occur via sperm cell
attachment to fallopian tube or oviduct epithelial cells (OEC). Recent data suggests that such …

Capacitation of fresh bovine spermatozoa on bovine epithelial oviduct cells was assessed1)
by the ability of spermatozoa to fertilize bovine oocytes in vitro and2) by exposure to …

The effects of bovine oviduct epithelial cell monolayers (OECM), derived from the different
segments of the oviduct and under various conditions, on oocyte penetration by bovine …

It has been difficult to study the behavior of sperm in the tubal environment in vivo. Human
tubal epithelial cells were therefore cultured in vitro to simulate tubal conditions and human …

Human epididymal tissue was recovered from 11 patients undergoing orchidectomy without
anti-androgen treatment. Everted epithelial fragments from the caput and corpus epididymis …

Oviduct epithelial cell (OEC) monolayers were prepared from the isthmic and ampullary
parts of the oviducts of FSH-primed tammar wallabies. Co-culture experiments found that 50 …

Attachment of spermatozoa to oviductal epithelial cells (OEC) may be a prefertilization event
in some species. We tested the hypothesis that spermatozoa that attach to equine OEC …

In this article we describe the in-vitro interaction between human spermatozoa and oviductal
epitheial cell mono-layers. Freshly obtained spermatozoa were added to culture dishes …

Purpose: In order to develop a better system for support of human sperm function in vitro, we
conducted studies to evaluate whether reproductive tract cells are better than non …
