  • Title: Placental proteins in male serum.
    Author: Klopper A, Ahmed AG, Bersinger N, Urbaniak S.
    Journal: Gynecol Obstet Invest; 1985; 20(3):138-40. PubMed ID: 2417920.
    Abstract:
    Placental proteins such as human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), Schwangerschaftsprotein 1 (SP1) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) are found in the blood of pregnant women and in subjects suffering from cancer. They can also be found in the blood of healthy non-pregnant women and in the seminal fluid of males. Surprisingly, hCG and SP1 could not be found in male serum, although PAPP-A occasionally occurs there.
