Monoclonal antibodies against boar sperm zona pellucida-binding protein AWN-1. Characterization of a continuous antigenic determinant and immunolocalization of AWN epitopes in inseminated sows.
Boar spermadhesin AWN-1 is a sperm surface-associated 14.7-kDa lectin and a major protein of porcine seminal plasma. AWN-1 binds to beta-galactosides and to porcine zona pellucida glycoproteins, suggesting that this protein might play a role in the primary binding of spermatozoa to the egg's external glycoprotein matrix. We have produced a collection of murine monoclonal antibodies against puri...

One of the important parts of innate immunity is complement system that occurs in three different ways; the classic, the alternative and the lectin pathway. The four pattern recognition molecules that have been identified till now are Mannose binding lectin (MBL), a component of lectin pathway, and three ficolins (ficolin1,-2 and -3) which compound to the carbohydrates of the cell surface. MBL ...

متن کاملBinding of zona pellucida proteins to a boar sperm polypeptide of Mr 53,000 and identification of zona moieties involved.
Experiments have been carried out to identify proteins on boar spermatozoa that bind to components of the zona pellucida. Polypeptides in sodium deoxycholate extracts of boar spermatozoa and in whole seminal plasma have been separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred onto nitrocellulose sheet by electroblotting and probed with 125I-labelled heat-solubil...
