A combination of adsorption (protamine‐agarose) and gel filtration (Sephacryl S‐300) chromatography was used to enrich for factor(s) inXenopus laevisfrog egg extract that induce nuclear swelling‐chromatin decondensation in permeabilized human sperm. It was determined that a 70‐fold purification of the factor(s) that induce human sperm nuclear swelling has resulted from the purification scheme. The reduced, active factor(s) have a Kavof 0.12 and an approximate molecular weight of 290,000 daltons. The extract nuclear swelling activity is sensitive to temmperaturs of 50°C and above, as well as proteolytic treatment. RNase and cycloheximide treatments of the extracts have no effect on the nuclear swelling activity. These data suggest that the egg extract factor(s) that induce nuclear swelling in permeabilized human sperm are protein(s) that are present in the unfertilized frog egg.
