Analysis of human vaginal secretions by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

Proteomic analysis and characterisation of human cervico‐vaginal fluid proteins

“…Proteomic analysis of CVF may therefore permit the identification of protein biomarkers that may play a key role in the maintenance of pregnancy and the onset of labour. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of human vaginal secretions was pioneered in the early 1970s 6 and expanded to include pregnant women in the 1980s 7 . To date, however, a detailed discovery‐based study of CVF in pregnancy using proteomic technology has not been performed.…”

Water analysis

“…Laboratory test procedures relevant to proving the occurrence of such acts were reviewed (378). Proteins in vaginal secretions were analyzed by electrophoresis and their patterns were classified into a number of groups (379). Peptidase isoenzymes originating from several bacterial species were found to be present in vaginal swabs (380).…”

Detection of fatty acid-binding protein 5 and small proline-rich protein 3 for forensic vaginal fluid identification by ELISA

“…Previous studies identied several candidate protein markers for identifying vaginal uids. [16][17][18][19][20][21] However, the identied protein markers do not have adequate specicity for forensic identication of vaginal uids. Recently, van Steendam et al reported a method of examining vaginal uids using nano-HPLC and ESI-Q-TOF-MS 22 with digesting potential protein markers; however, other simpler methods are required for practical forensic investigation.…”
