## Abstract The specificity of early sperm‐zona interactions in vitro was studied using gametes from the mouse, rabbit, pig, and human. Mouse epididymal spermatozoa, capacitated in vitro, bound to the zonae of intact mouse oocytes and zona fragments removed mechanically from oocytes. When viewed wi

## Abstract The interaction of sperm with the zona‐free hamster egg was studied. Hamster sperm were capacitated in Tyrodes media, containing 50% heat‐inactivated serum and used to inseminate zona‐free eggs in BWW containing 10% serum. Capacitated sperm began fusing with eggs within the first hour o
## Abstract We have attempted to identify a surface component of echinoderm eggs that is involved in the species‐specific binding of sperm. Cell surface membranes from eggs of the sea urchins Strongylocentrotus purpuratus or Arbacia punctulata were radioiodinated, detergent‐treated, and subjected t
## Abstract The pre‐penetration binding interactions between gametes of the golden hamster were investigated in vitro. Binding between capacitated spermatozoa and the surface of eggs, that is the zonae pellucidae with intact vitelli, as a function of the concentration of spermatozoa, followed a sig
