a
The seminal plasma were run on 2D gels and protein spots were identified in normal seminal plasma (normal SP) by mass spectrometry as described in (23) (A.M.C. and O.E.S, manuscript in preparation), and spot-matched to 2D gels from a vasectomized patient (Vas SP) and a patient with seminal vesicle dysfunction (SV def. SP).
b
Ig heavy chain region, keratin, ciliary rootlet coiled coil, DAP-2, clusterin, microtubule-actin crosslinking factor, intercellular adhesion molecule, growth differentiation factor 2.
