Abnormal zonae pellucidae in mice lacking ZP1 result in early embryonic loss
T Rankin, P Talbot, E Lee, J Dean - Development, 1999 - journals.biologists.com

Freeze–thaw-induced changes of the zona pellucida explains decreased rates of fertilization in frozen–thawed mouse oocytes
J Carroll, H Depypere, CD Matthews - Reproduction, 1990 - rep.bioscientifica.com
Frozen–thawed oocytes have a reduced rate of fertilization (48· 8%) when compared with
unfrozen controls (97%). In this study we have used zona-drilling to bypass the zona …
