Ejaculated and Epididymal Mouse Spermatozoa Are Different in Their Susceptibility to Nuclease-Dependent DNA Damage and in Their Nuclease Activity1

Ejaculated mouse sperm retrieved from the uteri are more susceptible to DNA damage during freeze-drying and freezing without cryoprotection than epididymal sperm. This prompted us to speculate that a factor present in the uterus after mating, either male or female derived, was responsible for increa...
