Biochemical and Physiological Factors Affecting Early Stages of Fertilization in the Bovine
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe purpose of this study was to evaluate a number of physiological and biochemical factors included in sperm binding to and penetration of bovine oocytes. The first part included evaluating conditions required to maximize sperm binding to and penetration in vitro; the second involved differentiating acrosin from non-acrosin proteases in bovine acrosomes. These proteases are likely to be involved in sperm binding and penetration.
