[Light microscopic demonstration of lectin receptors on the surface of human spermatozoa]

The topography of lectin binding sites on human spermatozoa has been examined by using particular series of peroxydase labeled lectin-konjugates (GS-1, GS-2, WGA, PNA, SBA, DBA, BPA, MPA, UEA-1, LPA, Con-A) which demonstrated typical patterns of lectin-receptor distributions concerning acrosomal and equatorial as well as postacrosomal areas.
