Antigenic homology between rat sperm tail polypeptides and Sertoli cell secretory proteins.

A high performance liquid chromatographic procedure has been used for the purification of rat Sertoli cell secretory protein S70 and S45-S35 heterodimeric protein to determine their role during spermatogenesis. These two proteins display binding affinity for each other and appear antigenically related. We have observed that: 1.
