Abstract:
:We compared fertility potential measurements by the zona-free hamster egg bioassay with the in vitro fertilization of human eggs. Sperm from 24 husbands participating in an in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer program were used in 27 inseminations of the wives' eggs and in simultaneous inseminations of hamster eggs. In seven cases, a positive fertility assessment was obtained in the absence of fertilization of the wives' eggs attributable to egg immaturity or in one case to equipment failure. In the remaining 20 cases, at least one egg was fertilized, for a level of 73%. In 90% of the husbands who fertilized their wives' eggs, a positive fertility assessment was obtained. Two husbands gave false-negative assessments. To account for these, alternative culture conditions were examined; sperm exposure to longer preincubations or at higher concentrations usually improved assessments. These results indicate that fertility assessment with this bioassay is highly correlated with the fertilization of human eggs in vitro.
