Carbohydrates of the Surface of the Normal Human Spermatozoon
ABSTRACT: Autoproteolysis of human spermatozoa produces oligopeptides with oligosaccharide chains of the N‐glycosidic‐linked type that are released from the “surface exposed” parts of glycoproteins. The products eluted in the previous washing of the spermatozoa have the same composition and solubili...
