Transcript
The overall goal of this experiment is to evaluate the intracellular location of reactive-oxygen species within Solea senegalensis spermatozoa by confocal microscopy. Reactive-oxygen species have in uses of safety to the effective sperm function,

This protocol describes a detailed methodology for detecting H2O2 localization within Solea senegalensis spermatozoa using a sensitive fluorochrome DCFH-DA for ROS, a live mitochondria stain for mitochondria, and DAPI for nuclei visualization, respectively. The protocol is designed to be performed within 2 h with either fresh or thawed spermatozoa.
