[Characteristics and Influencing factors of Sperm Interaction with Exogenous DNA].

Exogenous DNA localization and the frequency of spermatozoa carrying exogenous DNA after sperm/DNA co-culture are key to a successful sperm mediated-gene transfer (SMGT). In the study, the characteristics and influencing factors of exogenous DNA uptake by spermatozoa were tested using digoxigenin (DIG) labeled DNA as trace. Results showed that goat spermatozoa could spontaneously take up exogenous DNA.
