ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting the presence of infertility in mammalian male animals based upon failure of sperm to undergo successful capacitation. Sperm samples are given the opportunity to undergo capacitation and subsequently contacted with antibodies to fibronectin. Binding levels indicate the degree of capacitation and consequently the presence of infertility.
