Abstract

We describe a program, CROSS, which we have written to obtain potency estimates and other parameters for bioassay data from assays of crossover design. The program permits testing of all assays for statistical validity and calculates the complete analysis of variance for assays of balanced design. The form of data input and the complete documentation of assay results make this program particularly useful for anyone carrying out crossover assays on a routine basis. The analysis of variance presented is also useful for more general biological or medical situations.

Effects of chamber depth on the motion pattern of human spermatozoa in semen or in capacitating medium.

The computer-aided sperm analysis system (CASA) permits precise calculation of the trajectory characteristics of human spermatozoa. Comparison between different chamber depths (10, 20 and 100 microns) revealed variations in the results, which were more evident as the magnitude of the spermatozoon flagellar beat increased. In seminal spermatozoa, the reduced amplitude of movement, linked to the relatively short flagellum and high viscosity of seminal plasma, indicates that the 10 microns-deep chamber can be used for motion analysis without involving extensive modifications. On the other hand, analysis of quicker movement, such as in capacitated spermatozoa, revealed large variations; in particular the proportion of non-progressive hyperactivated spermatozoa was higher in the 20 microns than in the 10 microns chamber (17.9 +/- 14% and 6.9 +/- 4.5% respectively, P < 0.01). In fact the distribution of non-progressive and progressive hyperactivated spermatozoa is depth-dependent. It is therefore necessary to use a chamber of at least 20 microns in depth for sperm analysis in capacitated medium.
