Mammalian spermatozoon is a dynamic entity bereft of synthesizing
proteins. Its transformation from an immature cell to a competent
fertilizing cell is the outcome of a complex set of events which is
well orchestrated and synchronized during the journey through the
epididymis. This book unfolds the interaction of mammalian
spermatozoa with the epididymal luminal fluid, where interchange,
exchange, masking and unmasking of glycocomponents on sperm cell
surface takes place. The sperm-ovum fusion is a carbohydrate
mediated event and consequently exploring epididymal fluid
glycoproteins seems to be an innovative and interesting approach in
identifying sperm antigens with immunocontraceptive potential. The
content of this book is lucid and findings interesting for general
and specific reading. The author delves upon characterizing
epididymal fluid glycoproteins in rhesus monkey by various
techniques and goes ahead to see the significance and role of some
heavily glycosylated glycoprotein in sperm maturation and
fertility. Can a post-testicular male immunocontraceptive be
explored with success? To answer this, the search must go on
