Annotation: The rQSOX antiserum used in this study was prepared in the laboratory of “Enzymologie et Chimie des Proteines,” Tours (France). Rat sulfhydryl oxidase was purified from seminal vesicle fluid (Benayoun et al., 2001); 6.5 micrograms of the purified protein in Freund’s complete adjuvant were subcutaneously inoculated to a rabbit at day 0. Injections of similar amounts of protein were repeated with incomplete adjuvant at days 21 and 71. Blood was collected from the ear marginal vein and the obtained antiserum was stored at –20°C.
The specificity of the rQSOX antiserum has been previously controlled by Western blot on seminal vesicle fluid homogenates (Benayoun et al., 2001).
