Rhesus macaque blastocysts resulting from intracytoplasmic sperm injection of vacuum‐dried spermatozoa *

Background  Sperm desiccation is an attractive approach for sperm preservation. In this study, we examined the feasibility and efficiency of intracytoplasmic sperm injection using vacuum‐dried rhesus macaque sperm in CZB medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
