Characterization of the antigen recognized by a monoclonal antibody MN9: unique transport pathway to the equatorial segment of sperm head during spermiogenesis.

Abstract:

:MN9, a monoclonal antibody raised against mouse spermatozoa, specifically recognizes the equatorial segment of sperm head in several mammalian species, including humans. Colloidal gold-immuno-electron microscopy of mouse spermatozoa has shown that the antigen is localized in the space between the outer and inner acrosome membranes and on the acrosome membranes at the equatorial segment. Immunoblotting after electrophoresis of spermatozoa from the cauda epididymidis has identified two immunoreactive bands: 38 kDa and 48 kDa in mouse, and 48 kDa in rat. During spermiogenesis in rat, this antigen is transported to the equatorial segment via a unique pathway, first appearing in some cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum and in the Golgi apparatus of spermatids at around step 3. The antigen can further be found on the vesicles at the trans-side of the Golgi apparatus, in the matrix of the head cap, and on the head cap membrane in step-4 to step-7 spermatids. The antigen appears to be concentrated at the equatorial segment during late spermiogenesis. Neither the (pro-)acrosomic granule nor the surrounding membrane are required in this pathway. This pathway can be termed the 'Golgi-head cap tract'.
