| Research Abstract |
The molecular mechanism of maturation of ovum is not clear. For validation of mammalian egg maturation processes during development and aging, we investigated the cell surface carbohydrate expression patterns of ovum and ovary using carbohydrate specific antibodies and lectins. As a result, we showed that some specific carbohydrate structures had important roles for development and aging processes of ovum.
