1 The role of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp 70) in male infertility: is it a line of defense against sperm DNA fragmentation?  Gül Özdemirler Erata, Ph.D., Necla Koçak Toker, Ph.D., Özgür Durlanık, M.D., Ateş Kadıoğlu, M.D., Gülşen Aktan, BCHM M.S., Gülçin Aykaç Toker, Ph.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 90, Issue 2, Pages (August 2008) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2008 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Expression profiles of Hsp 70 protein of spermatozoa from fertile and infertile men grouped as asthenospermics and oligoasthenospermics. A protein sample from fertile group was applied onto lane 1 in each assay performed and its value was taken as 100% arbitrarily to compare with other samples (A). The blots were stripped and subsequently reprobed with an α-tubulin antibody for normalization of loading (B). The Western blot picture of α-tubulin is representative blots from random patients in the study.
