Sperm protein test could revolutionize fertility treatments, boost pregnancy rates.
A special antibody was made to look at a particular protein in bull sperm. Scientists found that this protein changes inside the sperm cell during certain processes. By using the antibody, they could see when the protein was lost after triggering a reaction in the sperm. This test could help figure out if the sperm is good to use for making babies either naturally or in labs. It is an extra check besides just checking the shape and movement of the sperm.
