Immunohistochemical studies on the localization of non-serum proteins detectable in human vaginal secretions.
Non-serum proteins in human vaginal secretions (HVS) were localized by an immunohistochemical method. A non-serum protein localized at the internal margin of the vaginal epithelium was considered to be an antigen-b, a main non-serum protein in HVS. As vaginal epithelium has no gland tissues, the production of this antigen is discussed.
