Figure 2 Effect of cumulus oophorus on donors vs. IVF patients after penetration. AR = percentage of acrosome-reacted sperm (FITC-PSA), CTC1 = uncapacitated sperm (CTC1, -2, or -3), CTC4 = capacitated sperm, CTC5 = percentage of acrosome-reacted sperm as measured by CTC staining, and CMA = percentage of sperm showing sperm decondensation (CMA3 positive). ∗Significantly different parameters.
