Glycoproteins from luminal fluid of the mouse cauda epididymidis have been compared with glycoproteins from Triton X-100 extracts of mouse spermatozoa from varying regions of the epididymis, using… (More)
Three murine epididymal secretory proteins have been characterized by their site of synthesis, sperm association, and tissue localization by use of polyclonal antisera and immunochemistry. Mouse… (More)
In previous studies we reported the synthesis, secretion, and immunolocalization at the light microscopic level of two mouse epididymal proteins, MEP 7 and MEP 10 [Rankin et al. (1992b), Biol.… (More)
Asbestos is a recognized carcinogen which is widely available for environmental exposure. Since all members of our society are exposed to asbestos containing environments and, indeed, have asbestos… (More)
Mouse epididymal protein (MEP) 10 has recently been characterized in our laboratory. Amino acid sequence analysis of the N-terminal of MEP 10 revealed an 86% similarity in sequence with rat proteins… (More)
Mammalian spermatozoa leave the testis as immature cells unable to fertilize until they have traversed the epididymis. Sperm maturation is an orchestrated series of sequential events occurring at… (More)
We have recently observed that a polyclonal antibody raised against a mouse epididymal luminal fluid protein (MEP 9) recognizes a 25-kDa antigen in mouse testis and epididymis [Rankin et al., Biol… (More)
