Immunocytochemistry and sperm pathology

J Submicrosc Cytol Pathol. 1988 Jan;20(1):209-24.

Abstract

In this paper the Authors describe the localization of some significative proteins (acrosin, actin, tubulin, vimentin) detected by immunocytochemical methods in human infertile spermatozoa and correlate their distribution with the ultrastructural characteristics of the same spermatozoa, in order to clarify the structural bases of infertility.
