Proteomics of boar seminal plasma

Secretory activity of boar seminal vesicle glands.

This paper reviews the recent research on the physiological role of peptide and protein substances synthesized in boar seminal vesicle glands. Secretions from these glands are the major components of seminal plasma. Unique biochemical properties of seminal vesicle proteins, which determine their numerous functions in the reproductive processes, are discussed. The discovery of phosphotyrosine ac...

Extensive dataset of boar seminal plasma proteome displaying putative reproductive functions of identified proteins

A complete proteomic profile of seminal plasma (SP) remains challenging, particularly in porcine. The data reports on the analysis of boar SP-proteins by using a combination of SEC, 1-D SDS PAGE and NanoLC-ESI-MS/MS from 33 pooled SP-samples (11 boars, 3 ejaculates/boar). A complete dataset of the 536 SP-proteins identified and validated with confidence ≥95% (Unused Score >1.3) and a false disc...

Suppression of adjuvant arthritis in rats by boar seminal immunosuppressive fraction.

OBJECTIVE The effect of the immunosuppressive fraction of boar seminal vesicle fluid (ISF) was tested on the manifestation of adjuvant arthritis (AA) in rats. METHODS The inhibitory effect of ISF on mitogen-stimulated proliferation of rat lymphocytes was evaluated by immunoassay using bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Adjuvant arthritis was induced in male Long Evans rats with Mycobacterium bu...

Influence of seminal plasma on the kinematics of boar spermatozoa during freezing.

Sperm motility is, for its relation to cell viability and fertility, a central component of the spermiogram, where consideration of motion patterns allows discrimination of sub-populations among boar spermatozoa. Extension and cryo-preservation imposes changes in these patterns in connection to handling, additives, temperature changes and the removal of boar seminal plasma (BSP) which apparentl...
