Abstract
Acrosin was detected by immunofluorescence in the spermatozoan acrosomes of artiodactyla (bull, ram and boar), perissodactyla (horse), carnivora (dog and cat), lagomorpha (rabbit) and primates (human) using antiβbovine acrosin immunoglobulins. The results indicate that the acrosin molecules of several mammalian species possess antigenic similarities.

## Abstract An immunoperoxidase staining procedure that readily demonstrated acrosin in the rostral portion of the acrosome failed to detect acrosin in the equatorial segment of spermatozoa representing the mammalian orders artiodactyla (bull and boar), lagomorpha (rabbit) and primate (human).
The distribution of Calmodulin was examined during spermiogenesis and sperm epididymal maturation in rabbit, hamster, mouse, rat, monkey, and human. An affinity-purified antibody to Calmodulin was used to characterize this protein in sperm extracts by immunoblot analysis. Post-embedding immunogold p

Immunocytochemical and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses demonstrated that adult human testis expresse
