Sperm-egg penetration of human spermatozoa treated with various rabbit antisera to human sperm antigens
Clinical and Experimental Immunology
|February 1, 1987
Abstract:
The effect of rabbit antisera to human whole spermatozoa, to human lactate dehydrogenase (LDH-X) and to human protamine 1 (HP1) and protamine 2 (HP2), was tested in the hamster zona-free egg penetration assay with human spermatozoa. The human spermatozoa were incubated with TEST yolk buffer washed and incubated with the antisera before penetration assay. Only antiserum to whole spermatozoa could inhibit the penetration capacity of treated human spermatozoa. The significance of the results as well as the advantage of the method used by us are discussed.

01:41Spermatogenesis
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid sperm cells are produced in the male testes. It starts with stem cells located close to the outer rim of seminiferous tubules. These spermatogonial stem cells divide asymmetrically to give rise to additional stem cells (meaning that these structures “self-renew”), as well as sperm progenitors, called spermatocytes. Importantly, this method of asymmetric mitotic division maintains a population of spermatogonial stem cells in the male reproductive...
01:22Spermatogenesis
Spermatogenesis is a complex process that involves the development of sperm cells from undifferentiated stem cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. The process is essential for the production of mature and functional sperm cells that are capable of fertilizing an egg.
The process of spermatogenesis can be divided into mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. During mitosis, the spermatogonia or stem cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells, type A and B spermatogonia. Type-A...
