Publication of this monograph acknowledges great strides made in research on the zona pellucida during the past decade or so. For example, modem im- munological approaches have been used to assess molecular fea- tures of zona pellucida structure and function, as well as to evalu- ate the zona pellucida as a potential contraceptive target antigen.
