  • Title: Methods for induction of capacitation and the acrosome reaction of stallion spermatozoa.
    Author: Graham JK.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 1996 Apr; 12(1):111-7. PubMed ID: 8726453.
    Abstract:
    Methodologies to capacitate bovine spermatozoa, induce the acrosome reaction, and fertilize bovine oocytes in vitro have been established. The capability to do the same with stallion spermatozoa, however, is not available. Several different methods have been used to capacitate stallion spermatozoa with variable results. More basic research needs to be done to establish in vitro conditions necessary to capacitate and induce an acrosome reaction in stallion spermatozoa. Although much progress can be expected in this area, it is unlikely that the general practitioner will use these technologies in the near future.
