Immunogenic potency of the zona pellucida.
New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with low doses of pig zona pellucida material with the aim of reducing nonspecific antibodies in the antiserum. The antibody levels were assayed by the standard precipitation and immunofluorescence methods. The titers produced were comparable with those obtained using large amounts of zona material.
