β¦ Synopsis
Abstract
Bivalent (IgG) rabbit antiβmouse zona pellucida antibody completely inhibited fertilization in the mouse. Univalent (Fab) zona antibody did not inhibit the fertilizability of eggs. However, the treatment or injection with antiβrabbit IgG serum inhibited the fertilizability of eggs pretreated with antiserum Fab or eggs from females injected with antiserum Fab. It is concluded that the inhibition of fertilization by bivalent mouse zona antibody depends on the possibility that the antisera are directed against the zona as a whole and not specifically against the receptors for the Sperm.
