No, sperm is not considered an antigen at the time of fertilization. Antigens are substances that the immune system recognizes as foreign and can trigger an immune response. Sperm is a normal component of reproduction and does not elicit an immune response during fertilization.
What else can I help you with?
When does an oocyte complete meiosis II?
Meiosis II is completed after entry of sperm.
Can the sperm take three months to reach the egg and fertilize it?
No, sperm do not take three months to reach the egg. Once sperm are ejaculated, they can swim through the female reproductive tract and reach the egg within a few hours to a few days. However, sperm can survive in the female body for up to five days, allowing for a window of time for fertilization to occur after intercourse. The actual process of fertilization happens almost immediately once sperm encounters a viable egg.
What is time travel of the sperm cell to the ovary?
Sperm cells do not time travel to the ovary. They travel through the female reproductive tract via the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes to reach the egg for fertilization. Time travel is a concept found in science fiction and is not possible in reality.
What is the world record for most sperm fertilizing the egg at the same time for humans?
I am very, very afraid that you think that some weird outfit is going around counting sperm in a spot that cannot be gotten to, let alone with the microscope that would be needed. Your answer: no one knows.
What happens during and after human fertilization?
Fertilization is a very complicated process. It starts with the sperm cell entering the uterus. The sperm travels through the vagina and cervix into the uterus where it travels up the oviducts (fallopian tubes). While thousands of sperm enter, only a few will actually reach the egg. Of these few only one will enter. Once the sperm enters its merges with the egg forming a zygote. Fertilization can only occur in the oviducts, and during a specific period of time, ovulation. This is fertilization in essence. The entire process of egg secretion, priming the reproductive organs for a baby, and the baby growing is a very complicated process. However, fertilization is just the act of the sperm meeting the egg and merging to form a zygote. This is also a simple view of the process. For a more complicated on, if needed.

Why is necessary to release so many sperm at a time?
to ensure the fertilization of the egg with the mostcompatible sperm
The joining of the sperm and egg is called?
whenever i do it, they call it rape, but its sexual intercourse
How is fertilization of a single egg by more than 1 sperm prevented?
The face that sperm cannot live long, and only one sperm can fertilize egg at one time.
When does an oocyte complete meiosis II?
Meiosis II is completed after entry of sperm.
How many sperms unite with the egg and what do you call this union?
Only one sperm unite with the egg at a time and this process is called fertilization. A zygote is formed after this union which later on develops in to an embryo.
How does a coral fertilise its eggs?
During spawning the coral releases both eggs and sperm into the water at the same time. Fertilization occurs in the water.
Why is it hard to pinpoint the time when fertilization occur?
It can be hard to pinpoint the exact time of fertilization because sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for several days, and the moment of fertilization can occur anytime during this window. Additionally, the fusion of the egg and sperm typically happens within the fallopian tube where it is not easily observable.
Can the sperm take three months to reach the egg and fertilize it?

What are the similarities of internal external fertilization?
Internal fertilization takes place inside the body of the female. It is necessary for animals which live on land (terrestrial animals) and is retained by aquatic animals descended form terrestrial ancestors eg whales and dolphins. External fertilization takes place outside the body of the female. It usually takes place in water, usually the environment in which the animal lives eg fish and amphibians. This is because eggs and sperm would dry out and die if they are not kept wet. Internal fertilization is more certain than external fertilization so fewer eggs need to be produced. After internal fertilization eggs can be protected and fed while developing inside the mother's body. After external fertilization the eggs are potentially exposed to predators and so must either be produced in very large numbers or protected by the parents or both.
What is the world record for most sperm fertilizing the egg at the same time for humans?

When does a woman conceive?
Conception happens when a fertilized egg embeds itself onto the maternal endometrium, in the womb. This is distinct from fertilization, which happens when a sperm cell makes its way into the egg. There is some period of time between fertilization and conception.
