Black arrow indicates a phagocytized sperm while the yellow arrow indicates a sperm interacting with PMN. (B–D) Electron micrographs (10000X) of isolated PMN from female Murrah buffaloes incubated with buffalo spermatozoa showing phagocytic engulfment of spermatozoa by PMNs. (E,F) Bar graphs of percent phagocytizing female PMNs incubated with: (E) spermatozoa from buffalo bulls of high and low fertilizing abilities (F) spermatozoa from Non-capacitated (NCM) and capacitated (CM) HF bull spermatozoa (G) spermatozoa from Non-capacitated (NCM) and capacitated (CM) LF bull spermatozoa (H) HF, O-deglycosylated HF (represented by HF-O linked) and N- deglycosylated HF (represented by HF-N linked) bull spermatozoa.
