Abstract

The presence of human seminal plasma proteins in biological stains was demonstrated by an absorption test using anti-human seminal protein rabbit serum. A decreased degree of antibody activity was titrated on a microtiter plate by the agglutination of latex particles coated with human seminal plasma proteins. This method of test was sensitive and highly specific. The latex reagent for this test could be preserved in a refrigerator for over one year without the loss of reactivity.
