Method for determining the capacity of a spermatozoid to undergo the acrosomal reaction.

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining the capacity of a spermatozoid contained in a given medium to undergo the acrosomal reaction. It is characterised in that, on the said spermatozoid on to which the acrosomal is induced, the fixing of the proteins C3b or iC3 or of a fragment of the said proteins added to the medium containing the said spermatozoid is determined qualitatively and/or quantitatively. Application to the production of spermiograms and to the preparation of culture media suitable for in vitro fertilization. <IMAGE>
