1 Department of Biology, Slippery Rock State College,
Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania In studies carried out on the rat (four different samples of nonpooled accessory fluid
per experiment (N = 4)) coagulating secretion at pH 5.9 displayed minimal activity in
coagulating vesicular substrate but potentiated the coagulation reaction involving
Cowper's and seminal vesicle secretion. This effect could not be mimicked by prostate,
ampullary, or epididymal secretions. The active molecule in coagulating secretion was
heat-labile and nondialyzable. Further studies suggest that the potentiating effect observed
resulted from prior activation of the vesicular substrate for Cowper's secretion by
coagulating secretion.
