## Abstract A defined medium (CCM) is described in which washed ejaculated canine spermatozoa can be induced to undergo capacitation and the acrosome reaction, and to penetrate coronaβfree eggs in vitro. The composition of the medium is similar to other KrebsβRinger's bicarbonate buffered media exc
## Abstract Spermatozoa from the spermβrich fractions of the semen of 6 beagle dogs were capacitated and the effect of both zona pellucida (ZP) proteins and progesterone on calcium flux and the acrosome reaction measured. Sperm calcium flux was determined using the dual wavelength calcium probe ind
## Abstract A protein complex containing IGFβI, purified from rabbit seminal plasma, was used to investigate its effects on the capacitation and acrosome reaction of rabbit spermatozoa. Uncapacitated sperm (Pattern F), capacitated sperm (Pattern B), and acrosomeβreacted sperm (Pattern AR) were dete
