Using an antiserum raised against hamster oviductal zona pellucida, we observed specific immunogenic components of the reproductive tract on the zonae of oviductal eggs and in oviductal fluid. Results of immunohistochemical studies suggested that these oviductal components may originate from epithelial cells of the isthmus and, to a lesser extent, of the ampulla and fimbria. The oviductal immunogenic components have also been observed within the bursal cavity, which contains the ovary. These observations suggest that these oviductal components may play an important role in the first steps of the hamster reproductive process.
