Abstract

The anti-acrosin monoclonal antibody AcrC5F10 inhibited proacrosin activation, proacrosin-human zona pellucida glycoprotein A (ZPA) binding, and the zona pellucida (ZP)-induced acrosome reaction of the ZP-bound spermatozoa but had no significant effect on sperm-ZP binding. These results suggest that proacrosin-acrosin may play an important role in the ZP-induced acrosome reaction of spermatozoa after primary binding to the ZP.
