Abstract

The seminal plasma proteins of patients before and after vasectomy as well as in different split ejaculate fractions were investigated using gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Considerable interindividual variations of the protein patterns were observed. A distinct high molecular weight proteins band was found to disappear after vasectomy. This protein band could b4 attributed to the sperm-rich fraction of split ejaculates. It seems to be of testicular-epididymal origin and may be of interest for functional characterization of the testicular-epididymal fluid and for diagnosis of an occlusion of the excretory duct system.
