Figure 1 Western blotting of EPO protein in the seminal plasma. Seminal plasma was electrophoresed on a 15% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel. The EPO signal was detected as described in the text. Lanes 1–4, seminal plasma of infertile patients. Lanes 5–8, seminal plasma of healthy donors. Temma.
