Table 1 Determination of capacitation status patterns
Patterns (%) | Description |
|---|---|
F | Full fluorescence characteristic of ejaculated spermatozoa: characteristic of uncapacitated spermatozoa |
B | Banded, indicative of capacitated spermatozoa and fluorescence only in the post acrosomal region: characteristic of capacitated spermatozoa |
AR | Spermatozoa showing a mottled green fluorescence over head, green fluorescence only in post acrosomal region or no fluorescence on the head: typical acrosome-reacted spermatozoa |
