PY - 2017 DA - 2017/03/23 TI - Preclinical evaluation of a TEX101 protein ELISA test for the differential diagnosis of male infertility JO - BMC Medicine SP - 60 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - TEX101 is a cell membrane protein exclusively expressed by testicular germ cells and shed into seminal plasma. We previously verified human TEX101 as a biomarker for the differential diagnosis of azoospermia, and developed a first-of-its-kind TEX101 ELISA. To demonstrate the clinical utility of TEX101, in this work we aimed at evaluating ELISA performance in a large population of fertile, subfertile, and infertile men.
