Abstract

Labelled swine albumin resp. IgG were injected intravenously in two boars. The radioactivity of seminal plasma was determined at frequent intervals. It was observed that minimal amounts of radioactivity of albumin and IgG could be detected in seminal plasma. The importance of a transmission of IgG from serum to seminal plasma is discussed.

Sammanfattning

Radioaktivt albumin resp. IgG från svin tillfördes intravenöst på två gaiter. Aktiviteten i spermieplasman mättes regelbundet. Det visades att endast mycket låg aktivitet av både albumin och IgG förelåg i spermieplasman. Betydelsen av en transmission av IgG från serum till spermieplasma diskuteras.
