Abstract:
Objective To verify the presence of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF R 2) in spermatozoa of fertile men,and to provide experimental evidence for the direct action of TNF on spermatoza. Methods Using Western blotting the expressions of TNF R 2 in spermatozoa of 15 fertile men were assessed. Results TNF R 2 was expressed in spermatozoa of all the 15 fertile men. Conclusions The spermatozoa of fertile men have TNF R 2,which may transmit the cytokines signal into cytoplasm and modulate the spermatozoa function.
