Predictive value of abnormal sperm morphology in in vitro fertilization
TF Kruger, AA Acosta, KF Simmons, RJ Swanson… - Fertility and sterility, 1988 - Elsevier
In patients with acceptable sperm count and motility, two patterns of abnormal morphology,
judged with strict criteria, were identified and described. Patients with< 4% normal forms …

The species-specific egg receptor for sea urchin sperm adhesion is EBR1, a novel ADAMTS protein
Species-specific adhesion of sperm to the egg during sea urchin fertilization involves the
interaction of the sperm adhesive protein, bindin, and a complementary receptor on the egg …

Mammalian sperm-egg interaction: identification of a glycoprotein in mouse egg zonae pellucidae possessing receptor activity for sperm
JD Bleil, PM Wassarman - Cell, 1980 - cell.com
Sperm-egg interaction in mammals is initiated by binding of sperm to the zona pellucida, an
acellular coat completely surrounding the plasma membrane of unfertilized eggs. Zonae …

O-linked oligosaccharides of mouse egg ZP3 account for its sperm receptor activity
Previously, we reported that ZP3, one of three different glycoproteins present in the mouse
egg's zona pellucida, serves as a sperm receptor. Furthermore, small glycopeptides derived …

Defending the zygote: search for the ancestral animal block to polyspermy
JL Wong, GM Wessel - Current topics in developmental biology, 2005 - Elsevier
Fertilization is the union of a single sperm and an egg, an event that results in a diploid
embryo. Animals use many mechanisms to achieve this ratio; the most prevalent involves …
