Abstract
Papain-digested, anti-sperm-binding factor serum which has only a species-specific antibody, deprives the egg of fertilizability, as does undigested serum. This effect was exerted by direct masking of species-specific sperm-binding sites on the vitelline layer by univalent antibodies [from mouse and rabbit antisera].This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
