Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 Isolated nuclei of hamster spermatozoa develop into male pronuclei when injected into hamster
eggs. The nuclei of fresh, frozen-thawed and freeze-dried human spermatozoa are equally capable
of developing into male pronuclei when injected into hamster eggs. These results indicate that
sperm nuclei are stable organelles and the egg cytoplasmic factors controlling the transformation of
sperm nuclei into male pronuclei are not strictly species-specific.
