RESUMO
Objective To determine the levels of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibody (ATAb) and antisperm antibody (AsAb) in serum samples and interferon-?(IFN-?) in supernatants of peripheral blood cell culture in females with infertility, and to analyze their correlation. Methods ELISA was applied to determine and compare the ATAb and AsAb in serum samples of 182 women with infertility and those of 94 women with normal pregnant history. The level of IFN-? in supernatants of peripheral blood cell culture was also measured and compared by ELISA. Results The positive rates of serum ATAb and AsAb in the cases of infertility were 15.38% and 18.13% respectively, which were significantly higher than those of women with normal pregnant history( 6.38% and 5.32%). The supernatant IFN-? level in infertile women was significantly higher than that of women with normal pregnant history (0.970?0.493) ?g/L vs (0.531?0.274) ?g/L(P
