## Abstract The sperm acrosome reaction (AR) is a crucial step for mammalian fertilization. This work describes experiments to test the effect of the cesium ion (Cs^+^) and charybdotoxin (ChTX) on the Ca^2+^ or Na^+^/K^+^ ionophores stimulated hamster sperm AR in vitro.

## Abstract The effects of rottlerin, a known inhibitor of protein kinase C‐δ activation, on ion currents were investigated in pituitary tumor (GH~3~) cells. Rottlerin (0.3–100 µM) increased the amplitude of Ca^2+^‐activated K^+^ current (I~K(Ca)~) in a concentration‐dependent manner with an EC~50~

## Abstract TCR degeneracy may facilitate self‐reactive T cell activation and the initiation of an autoimmune response in multiple sclerosis (MS). MHC class II alleles of the DR2 haplotype DR2a (DRB5\*0101) and DR2b (DRB1\*1501) are associated with an increased risk for MS in Caucasian populations.

## Abstract T cells responsive to T‐cell receptor (TCR) determinants may regulate pathogenic Th1 responses in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) through interleukin (IL)‐10‐dependent bystander suppression. In this study, innate IL‐10‐ and interferon (IFN)‐γ‐secreting T cells responsive to TCR pe
