Abstract:
The acrosome reaction of human spermatozoa with different morphological disturbances was evaluated after application of the triple staining method. After triple staining, spermatozoa which display only a small or an undetectable acrosomal region in Papanicolaou-stained semen smears, turn out to be unable to perform an acrosome reaction, whereas merely post-acrosomally hyper-elongated spermatozoa show a normal ability for acrosome reaction.
