Protein Patterns of Rabbit Oviducal Fluid11, 2

Abstract

staining protein, migrates to the post-albumin region and constitutes approximately 5% of the total protein of oviduct fluid. The presence of only certain serum proteins in oviducal fluid and the disparity in the relative amounts of these common proteins in the two body fluids suggest that certain serum proteins may be selectively transferred into the oviducal lumen. The presence of unique proteins in tubal fluid implies that oviducal cells may be engaged in specific secretory activity.
