Abstract
IgG and IgA, albumin and lactoferrin as well as the semen compartment parameters acid phosphatase, fructose and spermatozoa were determined in separately collected fractions of the same ejaculate of some normal donors. The distribution over the fractions per ejaculate of IgG, IgA and albumin was generally more or less similar to the distribution of acid phosphatase indicating that the bulk of these proteins enters the semen via the prostate and not via the vesicles or testis and epididymis. The distribution of lactoferrin unexpectedly was not clearly related to fructose. IgM could not be detected.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
