[Some chemical and serological properties of non-dialysable fractions of human seminal plasmas].

: Some chemical and serological properties of water-soluble and undialysable fraction (WSF) and water-insoluble and undialysable fraction (WISF) of human seminal plasmas were studied. Both of the fractions contained proteins as the main components and also carbohydrates as minor components, and each fraction gave 9 bands which were stained with the Periodate-Schiff and/or Coomassie brilliant blue reagents on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slub gel electrophoresis. WSF reacted with 17 of 19 hemagglutinins, whereas WISF reacted with 12 of them. Although WSF and WISF did not react with anti-M and -N sera respectively, both of the fractions reacted with the anti-N lectins of Vicia graminea and V. unijuga and also with Arachis hypogaea anti-T (Thomsen-Friedenreich) lectin. Perchloric acid-soluble fractions separated from a large number of human intact organ tissues and serum did not react with the above-mentioned 5 hemagglutinins. In double immuno-diffusion, both of the fractions interacted with rabbit anti-WSF serum to form 4 precipitation lines.
