a
Candidate SFPs were based on criteria of accessory gland-specific or enriched expression and/or presence of a predicted secretion signal sequence
b
SFPs or Acps were identified by finding orthologs of identified SFPs or Acps in other organisms
c
Putative SFP or Acp databases were filtered by applying bioinformatic criteria
