Three predominant proteins secreted by the human prostate gland

Lilja, H. LU orcid and Abrahamsson, P. ‐A LU (1988) In The Prostate 12(1). p.29-38
Abstract

Analyses of the proteins of azoospermic ejaculates from subjects with defective seminal vesicles demonstrated that three prostatic‐secreted proteins were predominant. Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), prostate‐specific antigen (PSA; or γ‐seminoprotein), and β‐microsemi‐noprotein (β‐MSP; or β‐inhibin), were identified as the three predominant proteins secreted by the normal human prostate gland. Immunohistochemical localization of these proteins, in the epithelium of normal prostatic acini and ducts, with the avidin‐biotin complex procedure demonstrated that each PAP‐immunoreactive cell was invariably immunoreactive both with PSA‐and β‐MSP‐monospecific antisera as well.
