It is well established that the zonae pellucidae of mature unfertilized eggs have the ability to induce the acrosome reaction of capacitated spermatozoa. To determine if this capacity of the zona is species-specific, hamster spermatozoa were allowed to attach to the zonae of homologous and heterolog
## Abstract When hamster spermatozoa were preincubated for 1β2 hr in Ca^2+^βcontaining medium and then exposed to lysolecithin (LC), large proportions of the spermatozoa underwent acrosome reactions within 15 min. These acrosomeβreacted spermatozoa were capable of fertilizing eggs. The earliest vis
