Terminal saccharides on sperm plasma membranes: identification by specific agglutinins.

Six specific agglutinins were used to identify the terminal sugar residues in the surface oligosaccharides of rabbit and hamster spermatozoa by specific agglutination. Species differences in epididymal sperm were found in the terminal residues, resembling alpha-D-mannose, D-galactose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. Species similarities were found in terminal residues, resembling L-fucose and N-acetylneuraminic acid. When ejaculated rabbit sperm were compared to epididyimal sperm, the latter were more agglutinable with a specific agglutinin recognizing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
