Abstract：Following the development of intracytoplasmic sperm and haploid spermatid injection techniques,the cryopreservation technology of male germ cell, as important part of assisted reproductive technology (ART), has played a key role in the ART treatment for the couples with male infertility. Freezing methods of male germ cells include the programmed cryopreservation and vitrification freezing. Cryoprotectant , usually classified as permeable and impermeable cryoprotective agents,could minimize the cell injuries during the freeze-thaw. Various frozen carriers such as cryoloop and cryoleaf are widely used in cell cryopreservation. In this paper,the freezing method,carrier,cryoprotectants and frozen effect of male germ cell were reviewed.
