The need for a physiological change in mammalian spermatozoa in the female genital tract as a prerequisite for fertilization was first recognized by Austin (1951) and Chang (1951) in the rabbit, and the change was termed “capacitation” (Austin, 1952). They found that if epididymal or ejaculated spermatozoa were introduced into the oviduct of the female rabbit before ovulation, eggs were fertilized. However, when the spermatozoa were introduced into the female after ovulation, few-if any-eggs were fertilized. In other words, the eggs lost the ability to be fertilized before the spermatozoa became capacitated.
