The mouse monoclonal antibody Ds-2 reacts with canine intra-acrosomal sperm protein (92 and 42 kDa), a testis-specific acrosomal vesicle protein 1 associated with the acrosomal membranes and matrix of the mature sperm.
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Canine (Dog)
Purification
Purified by protein-A affinity chromatography.
Purity
> 95 % (by SDS-PAGE)
Immunogen
Freshly ejaculated dog sperms were washed in PBS and extracted in 3% acetic acid, 10% glycerol, 30 mM benzaminidine. The acid extract was dialyzed against 0.2% acetic acid, lyophylized and subsequently used for immunization.

Background
One of the most frequent causes of man infertility is defective sperm acrosome. This damage can be detected using antibodies against intra-acrosomal proteins. Besides diagnostics of sperm pathology, monoclonal antibodies against intra-acrosomal proteins can be used for evaluation of the physiological state of sperm cells as well as for selection of a suitable method of fertilization in the laboratories of assisted reproduction.,IAP Can
