Hargreave TB, Harvey J, Elton RA, McMillan A. Serum agglutinating
and immobilising sperm antibodies in men attending a sexually
transmitted diseases clinic. Andrologia 1984;16:111-5.
Abstract:
The tray slide agglutination test (TAT) and micro immobilisation
test (MIT) to detect antisperm antibodies were carried out
on serum samples from 217 men attending a clinic for sexually
transmitted diseases (STD), 151 fertile men requesting vasectomy
and 645 men with a marriage with primary infertility. There
was no difference in results between the fertile men and the
men attending the clinic for sexually transmitted diseases
although both sets of results differ from those of the infertile
men. These results make it unlikely that venereal disease
will trigger antisperm antibody production
