Abstract

A study was made of the interaction of immunoglobulins and immunoglobulin fragments from sera of rabbits and pigs with the acrosomes of ten species of mammalian spermatozoa to investigate previous reports of an interaction between normal serum and the acrosome. It was shown that this could be predominantly attributed to IgC, although there was weak staining due to IgM. Further, it was shown that IgG interacted through the Fc fragment, the Fab fragment causing only weak staining of homologous spermatozoa.

This review deals with exogenous molecules that stimulate the acrosome reaction (AR) of mammalian sperm in vitro, presumably by acting at the sperm surface. Such molecules may exert their effect(s) by stimulating capacitation andor by stimulation or initiation of the AR, and they are probably presen

## Abstract The acrosomes of mammalian spermatozoa contain a proteolytic enzyme which may be of importance for fertilization. The release and activity of the enzyme can be visualized directly when the spermatozoa are applied to fixed gelatin membranes. The purpose of this study was to determine the

This study describes investigations of the importance of intraacrosomal pH in the hamster sperm acrosome reaction (AR). Washed cauda epididymal sperm were capacitated in vitro in a medium containing 2 mM Ca2+, 144 mM Na+, and 3 mM K + . Such sperm underwent a significant increase in the number of AR

## Abstract The toxic interaction of melamine with herring sperm DNA (hs‐DNA) was investigated by using fluorescence and UV–vis absorption spectra techniques. The experimental results showed that the toxic interaction between melamine and hs‐DNA occurred. Fluorescence quenching experiments indicate
