Oocyte and zygote zona pellucida permeability to macromolecules
Abstract
Zona pellucida intact mouse pre- and post-ovulatory oocytes and zygotes were investigated for permeability to macromolecules using graded neutral fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) dextrans (molecular weight range 3.84-170 kDa) and a range of galactose-binding lectins (molecular weight range 40-247 kDa). The use of both FITC neutral dextrans and FITC galactose-binding lectins gave good agreement in the zona pellucida permeability studies. Zona pellucida intact pre- and post-ovulatory oocytes were permeable to both markers up to a molecular weight range of 170 kDa although movement across the zona pellucida was diminished between 100 to 150 kDa with no detectable permeability at molecular weight range of 170 kDa. Zygotes demonstrated a decreased zona pellucida permeability at around 110 kDa. Two galactose-containing oligosaccharide-rich zones in the zona pellucida were identified, and changes in zygote vitelline membrane galactose-binding lectin affinity were detected.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
