Biochemical Characterization of Sperm Agglutination Antigen-1, a Human Sperm Surface Antigen Implicated in Gamete Interactions1
1 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
The anti-sperm monoclonal antibody (mAb) S19 was previously demonstrated to agglutinate human spermatozoa, inhibit sperm penetration of cervical mucus, and inhibit sperm-zona pellucida binding. These results implicated the cognate S19 antigen, designated sperm agglutination antigen-1 (SAGA-1), in gamete interactions and identified SAGA-1 as an attractive candidate for immunocontraceptive development. In the...
