ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed relating to the isolation and purification of certain heparin-binding protein compositions in the seminal plasma of male mammals. The isolated proteins are useful in fertility studies and in enhancing the acrosomal reaction, capacitation and subsequent fertility of sperm cells.
