How Pig Sperm Prepares to Fertilize: Stable Acrosome Docking to the Plasma Membrane

18 Jun 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mammalian sperms are activated in the oviduct. This process, which involves extensive sperm surface remodelling, is required for fertilization and can be mimicked under in vitro fertilization conditions (IVF). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here we demonstrate that such treatments caused stable docking and priming of the acrosome membrane to the apical sperm head surface without the emergence of...
