Abstract

The study was designed to test the hypothesis that sexual intercourse causes an increase in the activity of vaginal PGM 1. Semen-free, post-coital vaginal swabs taken at timed intervals were examined, as were swabs taken post coitus with semen present. The swabs were tested using a multiple enzyme electrophoresis system which also gave information regarding EsD activity. In most cases PGM subtyping was done. The results from the semen-free, post-coital swabs indicate that the vaginal PGM 1 and EsD activities depend on the donor and do not depend on the time since intercourse or the intercourse itself. Observations from the post-coital swabs with semen suggest that it is the presence of semen that stimulates the production or increase in activity of vaginal PGM.
