## Abstract Rat epididymal spermatozoa, at a concentration of 40β65 Γ 10^4^ cells/ml, were preincubated for 5β5.5 hr and then added to eggs from superovuβlated, immature rats. By 10β12 hr after insemination, 86% of the eggs had undergone fertilization, but many of them (41%) were polyspermic. When
## Abstract Sperm penetration of zonae and fertilization of mouse eggs in vitro was studied as a function of sperm concentration over the range 10^3^β10^6^ cells/ml. Maximal fertilization was obtained at 10^5^ sperm/ml with markedly reduced levels seen at lower concentrations. Eggs inseminated at l
## Abstract Sperm surface isoantigens can be detected on the surface of fertilized eggs by using cytotoxic (complement dependent) spermβspecific isoantisera. These isoantigens cannot be detected on unfertilized eggs. This may indicate their transfer from sperm to egg during fertilization.
