a
2.5×105 sperm from each strain and genotype indicated were incubated with wild-type ICR eggs and the fertilization rate calculated by the number of fertilized (2-cell) embryos after 1 day.
b
The percentage of fertilized embryos is expressed as the number of 2-cell over the total number of eggs set up in each experiment. Data shown are aggregated from three independent experiments.
