Published: January 1979

Papain-digested, anti-sperm-binding factor serum which has only a species-specific antibody, deprives the egg of fertilizability as well as does undigested serum. This effect is shown to be exerted by direct masking of species-specific sperm-binding sites on the vitelline layer by univalent antibodies.
