Two Phase Partition

Ejaculated, bovine sperm have been subjected to multiple partition in aqueous two-phase systems. This partition, carried out in a countercurrent fashion, reveals heterogeneity of the sperm population with respect to surface properties. The sperm, when partitioned in phase systems that detect non-change associated surface properties (change-insensitive) are largely distributed as two distinct populations. In charge-sensitive phase systems (which principally detect cell surface molecules carrying charge) the sperm do not show any obvious surface heterogeneity. Considerable heterogeneity is revealed in affinity-ligand phase systems containing palmitic acid coupled to one of the phase components-poly(ethylene glycol). There is a difference in surface heterogeneity between sperm which have been washed in buffer or left unwashed, direct from the ejaculate. This is indicative of weak adsorption of proteins to the sperm surface in seminal fluid. These results show that bovine ejaculated sperm is a heterogeneous cell population having unequal distributions of a number of different surface molecules.

Algal cells belonging to various strains of <em>Chlorococcales (Chlorophyta) </em>have been partitioned in aqueous two-phase systems containing ionogenic polymers, DEAE-dextran or SDS-dextran, at various pH values. Strain-specific differences of partition type which have been found in the phase systems used can be useful for distinguishing of algal cells.

Sperm Population

Rat sperm isolated from the caput and caudal epididymis and the vas deferens were subjected to multiple partition in aqueous two-phase systems. The technique was used to reveal heterogeneity of a sperm population with respect to particular surface properties. Sperm from all three regions gave broad distributions indicative of heterogeneous cell populations. Greatest heterogeneity was observed for cauda sperm with caput and was sperm producing similar distributions. Following multiple partition sperm from different regions of the distribution profiles were immunostained with three antibodies known to recognise maturation antigens. The results show that some antigens are acquired during epididymal transit whilst others are present throughout. The partition (surface heterogeneity) seen cannot therefore be explained solely by the distribution of the antigens recognised by 2D6, 6B2 and 3D5.
