Protein-carbohydrate interactions during fertilization [PDF]
Interaction between gametes during fertilization is at least in part regulated by carbohydrate moieties of the zona pellucida (ZP) and carbohydrate binding proteins of the sperm surface. This review focuses on the protein-carbohydrate interactions during

Background Zona pellucida binding assays (ZBAs) have proven useful in determining the fertilising ability of spermatozoa in several species. Most ZBAs use fresh or salt-stored oocytes collected from fresh ovaries but because ovaries are not easy to ...

Biosynthesis and expression of zona pellucida glycoproteins in mammals [PDF]
The 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.

Laser microdissection as a new approach to prefertilization genetic diagnosis [PDF]
The genetic status of oocytes can be determined by polar body (PB) analysis. Following PB extraction, a genetic evaluation is performed. As each PB contains the complementary genetic material of the oocyte, PB analysis reveals information about its ...

Morphocytometric Evaluation of Equine Oocytes Following In Vitro Maturation
In the current study, 930 equine oocytes were collected, 765 (82.25%) of which were considered viable for in vitro maturation. All selected oocytes were matured for 27 h at 38.50 0C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in humidified air.

Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer is dependent on compatible mitochondrial DNA and reprogramming factors [PDF]
Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) involves the transfer of a nucleus or cell from one species into the cytoplasm of an enucleated oocyte from another.

Availability of empty zona pellucida for generating embryonic chimeras. [PDF]
In the present study we used an empty zona pellucida derived from hatched blastocysts as an alternative source for embryo aggregation and compared results with the conventional microwell method.
