## Abstract Zonaβfree eggs were introduced to fresh or preincubated sperm suspensions and the penetration of eggs by foreign spermatozoa was examined, as evidenced by enlargement of the sperm head and formation of the male pronucleus. It was found that zonaβfree hamster eggs can be penetrated by gu

## Abstract When goat spermatozoa were preincubated for 5β5.5 hr in the isolated uterus and oviduct from a maturing gilt, they developed the ability to penetrate zonaβfree hamster eggs in vitro. Overall penetration rates were 17% and 0%, respectively, 1 hr after insemination, and these increased to
## 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 Hamster eggs with postovulatory oviduct contents were added to a simple defined medium, without serum albumin, but supplemented with different combinations of energy sources. They were then inseminated by epididymal spermatozoa. In a medium containing Dβglucose but without pyruvate and/
## Abstract In vitro fertilization of hamster eggs by ejaculated or epididymal spermatozoa in the presence of seminal plasma or male accessory gland secretions was examined. There was no difference in the penetration rates, the time of sperm penetration and the optimal sperm concentration between e
