Soybean agglutinin-binding sites on the human sperm surface
Zeitschrift Fur Mikroskopisch-Anatomische Forschung
|January 1, 1989
Abstract:
Some differences in the distribution of lectin-binding sites on the surface of the plasma membrane of acrosomal and postacrosomal regions and tail of ejaculated human spermatozoa were demonstrated by means of horseradish peroxidase labeled soybean agglutinin. The acrosomal region was more densely coated with labeled lectin in comparison with the postacrosomal region. Hapten inhibition with N-acetyl-D-galactosamine was used as control.
