Abstract
A detection method for 305 fertility-associated sperm localization protein expressed in human testis and epididymis. The method includes qualitatively or quantitatively detecting for sperm localization proteins on a sperm or in seminal plasma via capture agents for the sperm localization proteins. The sperm localization proteins belong to an important protein group related to human sperm maturation and fertility. The method provides a diagnostic approach for male infertility.
