Objectives  Definition of differential extraction  Anatomy of spermatozoa  Concept of differential extraction  Different methods used for differential extraction  Questions/Comments

 f Sperm Cell Definition White A procedure in which sperm are Blood separated, or extracted, from all Cell other cells in a sample using a combination of phase separations and differential centrifugations.. Epithelial Cell

Anatomy of the Sperm Cell Nucleus contains DNA Plasma membrane contains disulfide bonds

 Single covalent bond between thiol groups.  Thiol groups – Disulfide Bonds functional group with Sulfur atom and Hydrogen atom.  Functional group of Cystine amino acid.  Close proximity causes oxidation reaction.  Found in plasma membrane of sperm and gives strength.

Process for Differential Extraction Evidence examined for stains Stains presumptively tested for seminal fluid Sperm can be visualized under microscope

Process for Differential Extraction Portion of mixed stain removed Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Ethylenediametetraacitic acid (EDTA), and Proteinase K added Chemicals break up non-sperm cells Does not break down DNA

Process for Differential Extraction Heat required for cell break down SDS – denatures proteins by disrupting non-covalent bonds EDTA – chelating agent, denature nucleases and makes cell membrane permeable Proteinase K – hydrolyze histones, inactivates nucleases and lyse cell

Process for Differential Extraction Centrifugation separates by pelleting the sperm and leaving DNA in liquid

Process for Differential Extraction Liquid (supernatant) removed and sperm pellet washed This is the non-sperm fraction aka E-cell Fraction Continue on through process

Process for Differential Extraction Sperm cells still intact Add SDS, EDTA, Proteinase K PLUS DTT

Process for Differential Extraction Heat required for cell break down Heating process repeated DTT activated when heated DTT – Dithiothreitol breaks disulfide bonds in sperm membrane Other chemicals work the same as before

Process for Differential Extraction E-cell S-cell Fraction Fraction Sperm DNA left known as S-cell Fraction Separation complete Take both fractions onto next step

QIAGEN QIAcube  Released in 2007  Fully automated sample preparation  Purification of DNA, RNA and protiens  Lysis buffer  Incubate  QIAcube  Can vortex, centrifuge and pipet reagents

Promega’s Differex  Manual Method  Commercial differential separation technique  Separation using proprietary separation solution  Extract E-cell and S-cell separately

Automated Differex  Same as manual Differex but sperm is pelleted using magnetic beads and magnet  Automatable

Laser Microdissection  Expedites separation by simultaneously identifying and excising sperm and E-cell nuclei  Preformed on specialized microscope  Laser cuts cells from stain  Very expensive

Erase Sperm Isolation Kit  Nuclease used to destroy epithelial DNA before sperm is lysed  Can be automated
