## Abstract For sperm to fertilize eggs, they must first bind to the thick zona pellucida (ZP) that surrounds the plasma membrane of all unfertilized mammalian eggs. An extensive literature suggests that mouse sperm recognize and bind to a specific ZP glycoprotein called mZP3. However, the role of
Post-fertilization changes in the zona pellucida glycoproteins of rat eggs

## Abstract The fertilization __in vitro__ of mouse eggs with intact zonae pellucidae by mouse cauda epididymal spermatozoa was inhibited in a concentrationβdependent fashion by 3βquinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB), normally used as a specific antagonist for the muscarinic class of cholinergic receptors
## Abstract Both epididymal and ejaculated spermatozoa give usable rates of fertilization of superovulated oocytes in vitro. The epididymal sperm gave higher rates, but ejaculated sperm were preferred because intraβdonor variation was lower than interβdonor variation. A selected population of 14 ma
