Abstract
Forty examinations of human semen were carried out with the aim of watching the behaviour of the albumin fractions in relation to the time elapsed after ejaculation. Seminal fluid, dried semen and seminal stains on linen and on Whatman No. 3 chromatography paper were investigated. The material under examination was subjected to starchgel electrophoresis; the number of albumin fractions was estimated and their behaviour in electrophoretograms noted. When examining seminal fluid, the best results (6 fractions in the electrophoretogram) were obtained 48–72 hours after the moment of ejaculation. In strins dried on linen and on paper, the greatest number of fractions was observed after 8–10 days from the appearance of the stains, after which a gradual vanishing of the albumin fractions occurs.
