|
• 18% of sperm (compared to 7.7% of wild-type) had abnormal sperm head shapes that were broader and less pointed than wild-type
|
|
|
• reduced number of sperm in oviducts of wild-type females, indicating that migration of sperm through the female genital tract is impaired
|
|
|
• significant alterations in sperm velocities, beat frequency, amplitude, straightness threshold and forward movement, indicating decreased sperm motility compared to wild-type
• greater decrease in sperm motility than in triple homozygous Tnp2/Hist1h1t/Mcsp mice
|
|
|
• litter size was sharply reduced when mutant males were mated to wild-type females
|
|
• only 8%-15% of wild-type oocytes were fertilized by mutant sperm (compared to 84.8% by wild-type sperm), but 71-75% of the fertilized oocytes developed into normal blastocysts (compared to 61.5% of the controls)
|
|
|
• reduced binding of sperm to zona pellucida from wild-type females
