Recombinant human zona pellucida protein C produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells binds to human spermatozoa and inhibits sperm-zona pellucida interaction.

Instituto de Biología y Medicina Experimental, National Research Council of Argentina (CONICET), Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Recombinant human zona pellucida protein C expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells associates to the acrosomal region of human spermatozoa and inhibits sperm-zona pellucida interaction in the hemizona assay. Recombinant human zona pellucida protein C may be a useful tool toward the development of diagnostic methods for male factor infertility and the elucidation of the molecular basis of fertilization.
