## Abstract A tripleβstain technique has been developed to score normal acrosomeβreacted human sperm in fixed smears. Live and dead sperm are first differentiated using the vital stain trypan blue. Sperm are then fixed in glutarβaldehyde, dried onto slides, and the postacrosomal region and acrosome
## Abstract Previous studies have established that the mammalian sperm acrosome reaction (AR) is dependent upon an influx of extracellular Ca^2+^, but the involvement of a mobilizable store of intracellular Ca^2+^ has not been shown. In many other cells, the endoplasmic reticulum is the site of suc
