Abstract :
In the present investigation polyclonal antibody was raised against male sex pheromone binding protein (SPBP) of Mus musculus (L) (Swiss mice) and has been used to identify the pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) of mouse olfactory systems such as the main and accessory olfactory system with the liver and kidney tissue protein extracts were used as negative control. This maiden attempt authentically proves that the PBP is only present among the protein profiles of vomeronasal organ (VNO) and it was reported that this sex specific PBP is found not to be expressed in all other tissues including main olfactory system (MOS).
