Sperm Impairment by Sperm Agglutinating Factor Isolated from<i>Escherichia coli</i>: Receptor Specific Interactions

Abstract excerpt

In an earlier work done in our laboratory, we have been able to isolate a sperm agglutinating strain of Escherichia coli from the semen sample of a male attending infertility clinic. Further, factor responsible for sperm agglutination (SAF) was isolated and purified, and, using SAF as a tool, corresponding SAF binding receptor from human spermatozoa has been purified. Characterization of SAF and SAF binding...
