FIGURE 3.
Spaca6 KO sperm is morphologically normal and motile. (A). Representative differential interference contrast (DIC) images of wild-type and spaca6 −/− sperm. Scale bar = 10 μm. (B). Measurements of the head area (left) and tail length (right) of wild-type and spaca6 −/− sperm. n.s, not significant (Mann-Whitney test, p > 0.05); error bars, SD; n = number of sperm. (C). Representative tracks of wild-type and spaca6 −/− sperm. Tracks (black arrows) were rotated and aligned at their origin. The relative displacement (grey dashed line) is overlaid. (D). Sperm speed and displacement (per 100 s). n.s, not significant (Mann-Whitney test, p > 0.05); error bars, SD; N = number of independent experiments; n = number of sperm.
