The advancement of the research supports that not only the sperm genome, but the entire sperm transcriptome and proteome carry crucial information for fertilization and embryo development. Altogether, 6871 proteins have been reported in spermatozoa so far. Their functional analysis has recently addressed to the sperm proteome a role in fertilization, preimplantation embryo development and paternal epigenetic inheritance. Targeted analysis of human spermatozoa is warranted to compile an evidence-based list of sperm-carried molecular targets in infertile patients.

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play a vital role in immune defense against MTB. OBJECTIVE To identify novel CTL epitopes that could induce cellular immunity against MTB infections. METHODS The HLA-A*0201 restricted CTL epitopes of the drug-resistant protein InhA from MTB were predicted by online algorisms and synthesized by the Fmoc solid phase method. The candidate peptides were used to induce CTLs from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of HLA-A*0201 healthy donors and the HLA-2.1/Kb mice. IFN-γ productions of CTLs were detected by enzyme linked immunospot ass
