Figure 1 (A and B) Phase contrast and epifluorescent photographs of apoptotic spermatozoa during the diagnostic phase: (A) fragmented DNA, bright TUNEL-positive cells) and (B) cleaved caspase 3 (arrow heads: mid-piece). (C–E) TUNEL analysis during MACS and ICSI procedure in different fractions: (C) density gradient centrifugation/pre-MACS; (D) annexin V-negative; (E) annexin V-positive. (F) Good-quality transferred embryo 48h after MACS and ICSI. T=percentage of spermatozoa with fragmented DNA measured by TUNEL assay. Bar=10μm (A–E) and 20μm (F).
