We utilized a setup based on extensive pre‐fractionation of proteolytic peptides and nanoflow reversed‐phase LC ‐ MS / MS to identify the (sub)proteome of human follicular fluid ( FF ). In this in‐depth screen, 246 specific proteins were identified, the majority of which are involved in coagulation‐ and immune‐response pathways. Our aim is to define a set of FF protein markers, which could predict oocyte quality.
