Abstract

Abstract: Sex control is a technique in which a female animal produces offspring with a specific sex through human intervention. Since the separation of X sperm and Y sperm is the technical basis for the realization of sperm sexing in animals, this paper summarizes and compares the new techniques for the separation of sperm before fertilization, including flow cytometry, immunological approach of sperm sexing, pH separation, microfluidics and nanotechnology. The activation of TLR7/8 signaling pathway by R848 (Resiquimod) in immunological isolation is a potential method for sperm isolation, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for sperm sexing techniques.

Key words: sperm sexing, X sperm, Y sperm, immunological approach of sperm sexing, TLR7/8
