Anti-zona pellucida activity in human sera. 1979

A G Sacco, and K S Moghissi

One hundred and twenty-five human sera from male and female fertile and infertile subjects were tested by fluorescent techniques against porcine and human zonae for autoantibodies to zona pellucida. A high incidence of positive sera was found in all groups examined, suggestive that all sera from females demonstrating such activity may not represent cases of autoimmunity to a specific zona component.
