Study

name:	Contraceptive potential of synthetic peptides of zona pellucida protein (ZPA).
description:	The epitope-specific antiserum inhibited binding of human sperm to the zona pellucida. The authors concluded that a synthetic peptide which includes the core sequence of LDPEKLTL could be a feasible candidate for developing a contraceptive for humans.
