| mt− gametes | Fertilization tubules | Percentage of cells with bound fertilization tubules | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unactivated* | Control | 4 ± 3 | ||
| Activated* | Control | 27 ± 8 | ||
| Activated‡ | Control | 30–50 | ||
| Activated‡ | Trypsin-treated | <5 |
mt− gametes were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde before use in the binding assay.
Live mt− gametes were used in the binding assay.
