Equatorial Segment Protein (ESP) Is a Human Alloantigen Involved in Sperm‐Egg Binding and Fusion

18 Apr 2008

Abstract excerpt

The equatorial segment of the sperm head is known to play a role in fertilization; however, the specific sperm molecules contributing to the integrity of the equatorial segment and in binding and fusion at the oolemma remain incomplete. Moreover, identification of molecular mediators of fertilization that are also immunogenic in humans is predicted to advance both the diagnosis and treatment of immune...
