luminol/horseradish peroxidase (HRP) chemiluminescence triggered by A23187.
These signals are highly correlated (P < .001), even though they measure
different aspects of cellular redox activity. Closed circles represent
low-density populations of human spermatozoa recovered from the 50%:100%
Percoll interface, while open circles represent high-density populations
recovered from the base of the isotonic Percoll fraction. All fractions had
been treated with CD45-coated magnetic beads and were free of detectable
leukocyte contamination.
