Mammalian oocytes such as mouse oocytes have a highly elastic outer membrane, zona pellucida (ZP) that cannot be penetrated without significantly deforming the oocyte, even with a sharp micropipette.

Species-specific OVGP1 confers complete species-specificity to the zona pellucida. Experiment using the EZPT to analyze several combinations whereby ZPs from bovine and murine ovarian IVM oocytes were ...
