Experimental conditions were established for an investigation of the sperm binding characteristics of the mouse zona pellucida. Fresh epididymal sperm binding to zonae of unfertilized eggs was a time-dependent process, reflecting the occurrence of sperm capacitation underin vitroincubation conditions. In contrast, capacitated sperm binding in large numbers to zonae of unfertilized ova occurred independently of temporal considerations. A dramatic difference was apparent in the binding of capacitated sperm to zonae of unfertilized eggs (>100 per zona) and toin vivoproduced 2-cell embryos (0–5 per zona), providing a basis for assessing the occurrence of a zona reaction. Under comparable conditions, capacitated sperm bound in large numbers to zonae ofin vitroproduced 2-cell embryos. Possible reasons for a subnormal or inadequate zona reaction in eggs inseminatedin vitrohave been discussed.
