Abstract EN
Objective.
To determine whether CD9 expression on human granulosa cells (GCs) and platelets could predict the success of conventional fertilization of human oocytes during in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Methods.
Thirty women undergoing IVF for nonmale factor infertility participated.
Platelets from venous blood and GCs separated from retrieved oocytes were prepared for immunofluorescence.
Flow cytometry quantified the percent of GCs expressing CD9, and CD9 surface density on GCs and platelets.
Fertilization rate was determined for the total number of oocytes, and the number of mature oocytes per patient.
Correlations tested for significant relationships (P<.05) between fertilization rates and CD9 expression.
Results.
CD9 surface density on human GCs is inversely correlated with fertilization rate of oocytes (P=.04), but the relationship was weak.
Conclusion.
More studies are needed to determine if CD9 expression on GCs would be useful for predicting conventional fertilization success during IVF.
