1. A method for separating sex specific molecules and non-sex specific molecules associated with animal plasma membranes, comprising:

  • (a) treating a plasma membrane fraction from adult, fetal, or embryonic animal cells or tissues, with one or more antibodies which bind to non-sex specific molecules in the cell membrane fraction to form conjugates between the non-sex specific molecules and the antibodies; and

    (b) separating the material in the cell membrane fraction which does not bind to the antibodies to obtain a subfraction containing sex specific molecules.
