Abstract
IN 19501 I showed that it is possible to obtain spermatic penetration of the pellucid membrane and the cytoplasm of oocytes of the female rabbit cultivated in fragments of Fallopian tubes to which spermatozoa taken from the vagina were added. This result was discussed in a symposium of the Ciba Foundation in 1952 on Mammalian Germ Cells2,3.
