Detection of Antisperm Antibody in Vasectomized and Infertile Males / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

We studied antisperm antibody by the use of the tray agglutination test in sera of 37 vasectomized males and 65 infertile males Antisperm antibody was found in 27 out of 37 vasectomized males (73%). Antibody titer was more than 1:32 in majority of the patients (25/27). The most common agglutination pattern was tail-to-tail agglutination (70.5 %). Antisperm antibody was found in 7 out of 17 obstructive azoospermia (41.2 %), and 3 out of 42 idiopathic infertility (7.1 %). But none was found in 6 patients with varicocele.
