Relevance of glycosylation of human zona pellucida glycoproteins for their binding to capacitated human spermatozoa and subsequent induction of acrosomal exocytosis
7 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
To delineate the functional aspects of zona pellucida (ZP) glycoproteins during fertilization in human, in the present study, fluorochrome-conjugated Escherichia coli (E. coli)- and baculovirus-expressed recombinant human ZP glycoprotein-2 (ZP2), -3 (ZP3), and -4 (ZP4) were employed. In an immunofluorescence assay, capacitated human sperm exhibited binding of the baculovirus-expressed recombinant ZP3 as well as...
