Abstract
Porcine follicular fluid (pFF) constitutes the micro-environment of the maturing oocyte. Although pFF is a transudate of serum, in pigs, it is superior to serum in promoting in vitro expansion of the cumulus cells, a specialized cell population surrounding the oocyte. A comparative proteome analysis of autologous serum and pFF was performed to investigate proteins involved in successful cumulus expansion of porcine oocytes. iTRAQ labeling followed by 2-D LC ESI-Q-TOF MS/MS revealed 63 proteins common to both fluids of which the abundance of 13 proteins was significantly different (p
