Popis: River buffalo, sheep, and goat spermatozoa were cross-hybridized using double color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with bovine Xcen- and Y-chromosome painting probes, prepared by DOP-PCR of laser-microdissected-catapulted chromosomes, to investigate the possibility of using bovine probes for sexing sperm of other members of the family Bovidae. Before sperm analysis, the probes were hybridized on metaphase chromosomes of each species, as control. Frozen-thawed spermatozoa of cattle, river buffalo, sheep, and goat were decondensed in suspension with 5 mM DTT. Sperm samples obtained from three individuals of each species were investigated, more than 1,000 spermatozoa were scored in each animal. FISH analysis of more than 12,000 sperm revealed high level of sperm with X- or Y-signals in all of the species investigated, indicating FISH efficiency over 99%. Significant interspecific differences were detected in the frequency of aberrant spermatozoa (aneuploid and diploid) between goat (0.393%) and sheep (0.033%) (P
