Abstract
Sera of 111 vasectomized men and infertile men and women were tested in each of 2 laboratories with the indirect immunofluorescence test on swollen human spermatozoa to detect antibodies against nuclear antigens specific to sperm. Comparison of the results revealed complete agreement in 110 of the sera. There were 17 concordant positive sera (8 out of 18 sera from vasectomized men, 8 out of 17 sera from infertile men, and 1 out of 76 infertile women). Most of the antibodies were of the Ig[immunoglobulin]G class.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
