Abstract
Murine and bovine embryos were sexed by using polyclonal and monoclonal anti-H-Y antibodies in cytotoxic and immunofluorescence assays. The specificity of 3 different sources of antibodies are compared. Sexing was accomplished by complement-mediated cytotoxicity or by H-Y antigen detection using a anti-mouse Ig fluorescein conjugate. Cytogenetic ascertainment for correct sex identification yielded a score of about 85% in both species, while the immunofluorescence assay yielded a score of 83%. © 1993.
