The Antigenic Mucin‐Like Glycoproteins of Human Seminal Plasma

ABSTRACT: Immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, SDS‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation analysis, and gel permeation chromatography in chaotropic and detergent mediums showed that the human seminal plasma obtained and stored in the usual way...
