We discuss in this paper the possible contributions from IRρ (ρ-reggeon associated with ρ meson) in DIS process on protons. Using results from phenomenological analysis of high energy π-N charge-exchange scattering process, we get the expression of effective propagator of IRρ and the coupling constant βρ between IRρ and light quarks. As a simple and concrete example, we use them to evaluate the contributions of ρ to F2(χ, Q2) from charge-exchange photoproduction quark-pair process, γ* + p → n + qu + qd(→ n + X), in HERA kinematical regions. For comparison, we also evaluate contributions both from pomeron and partons in the same process. The ratio of contributions in F2(χ, Q2) from IRρ versus IP is larger than 1%, therefore, the former may be tested experimentaly.
