Patterns of ZPC Deposition in Porcine Oocyte-Cumulus Complexes

The zona pellucida protein, ZPC, is a receptor for the spermatozoon in fertilisation[1].

Immunofluorescence detection for ZPC and ubiquitin in a porcine oocyte[1].

(a, b) ZPC (grey) detected in ridges (arrowheads) adjacent to zona-adhering corona radiata cells (nuclei stained blue).

(c-e) ZPC (red) and ubiquitin (green) detected in the ZP.

(c, d) ZPC (red) and ubiquitin (green) in the cytoplasm of corona radiata cells.

(e) DNA for ZPC counterstained with DAPI (blue).

(f) Western blotting of ZPC protein in the isolated cumulus/corona cells from 60 oocyte cumulus complexes (lane 1), in 60 zona-free oocytes (lane 2) and in soluble zona proteins isolated from 60 oocytes (lane 3).
