Analysis of chemotaxis when the fraction of responsive cells is small--application to mammalian sperm guidance

The detection of chemotaxis-related changes in the swimming behavior of mammalian spermatozoa in a spatial chemoattractant gradient has hitherto been an intractable problem. The difficulty is that the fraction of responsive cells in the sperm population is very small and that the large majority of t...
