The presence of anti-zona pellucida antibodies in the follicular fluid of 11 women who underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer was analysed. Only infertile couples with tubal or unexplained pathologies were included in our study, which was aimed at investigating the relationship between anti-zona pellucida antibodies in follicular fluid and failed fertilization. Whether or not these antibodies were present in some or all follicles in the same patient was also investigated. Out of 55 follicular fluids analysed, 36.3% were positive to the test and no fertilization was observed in oocytes from these follicles, while 63.6% were negative, and the oocyte fertilization rate associated with these was 51.4%. The presence of anti-zona pellucida antibodies was positively correlated with the degree of fertilization failure (P < 0.001 chi 2 test).
