Production of a growth factor by human spermatozoa
Abstract
We have previously shown that seminal plasma contains a putative growth promoting factor which was similar to transforming growth factor alpha. This study was conducted to show that sperm may have the ability to produce growth factors. Sperm conditioned media were subjected to sequential Sephadex G-75 (superfine) chromatography and high performance size exclusion liquid chromatography. The fractions were tested for mitogenic activity by the …
