Relationship between zona pellucida–induced acrosome reaction, sperm morphology, sperm–zona pellucida binding, and in vitro fertilization [PDF]
Fertility and Sterility, 2003 Objective: To evaluate the possible relationships between sperm morphology, acrosome responsiveness to solubilized human zona pellucida, and sperm-zona binding potential among [1] consecutive andrology referrals and [2] randomly selected in vitro ...

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis of the Intact Zona Pellucida of the Mammalian Egg: Changes in the Secondary Structure of Bovine Zona Pellucida Proteins During Fertilization [PDF]
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2006 The zona pellucida is the acellular transparent envelope surrounding the mammalian oocyte. An analysis of the changes in the structures of zona pellucida proteins is essential for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the important ...

Influence of zona pellucida thickness on fertilization, embryo implantation and birth [PDF]
Animal Reproduction Science, 2012 Defective sperm-zona pellucida binding and penetration are the main causes of IVF failure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of zona pellucida thickness in fertilization failure and test the influence of zona pellucida thickness on ...

Immunocontraception with Zona pellucida Proteins
Cells Tissues Organs, 2000The prospect of an immunological approach to contraception that would disrupt the process of fertilisation itself has resulted in a considerable interest into research in this area. It has been known for some time that antibodies raised against the zona pellucida (ZP) can suppress fertility very effectively.

The Zona Pellucida “Receptors”
1997Binding of mammalian sperm to the zona pellucida and the induction of the acrosome reaction are prerequisites for successful oocyte fertilization. In the mouse model, the zona pellucida consists of three sulfated glycoproteins, ZP1, ZP2, and ZP3. Zona pellucida proteins are secreted to form a filamentous zona matrix in which ZP2 and ZP3 complex into co-

Immunogenic potency of the zona pellucida
Experientia, 1982New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with low doses of pig zona pellucida material with the aim of reducing nonspecific antibodies in the antiserum. The antibody levels were assayed by the standard precipitation and immunofluorescence methods. The titers produced were comparable with those obtained using large amounts of zona material.

Functional Morphology of the Zona Pellucida
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2001The zona pellucida (ZP) is an extracellular matrix surrounding the oocyte and the early embryo that exerts several important functions during fertilization and early embryonic development. The ZP of most mammalian species is composed of three major glycoproteins that show considerable heterogeneity due to extensive post‐translational modifications ...
