Title: Freeze dried fertilisation-competent spermatozoa from vertebrate and invertebrate species
Inventor: WAKAYAMA TERUHIKO
IPC: C12N5/075
Filed: 1999-03-18
Abstract: Described is a method for freeze-drying spermatozoa to obtain at least one reconstituted spermatozoon whose head (nucleus) is capable of fertilizing an oocyte to produce a live offspring.  The motility of spermatozoa that have been freeze-dried and stored in a vacuum at room temperature is not restored when rehydrated.
