چکیده مقاله:

: Presence of antisperm antibodies (ASAs) in infertility and their adverse effects on fertility is a matter of controversy. The aims of this study were to determine the percentage of antibody positive sperms and rate of ASA positive sera in both fertile and infertile men and women, and to find the association between these antibodies and infertility. Methods: This study consisted of 29 fertile and 60 infertile men and women. The serum immunoglobulin (Ig) M, G, and A antisperm antibodies were evaluated after incubation of the sera with normal and high-quality fresh sperm from healthy donors. The percentage of spermatozoa positive for IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies and the rate of antisperm antibody positive sera in fertile and infertile groups were measured by flow cytometry. Results: Mean percentage of antibody positive sperms in fertile and infertile groups showed no significant differences (all P>0.05). The rate of ASA positive sera in fertile and infertile individuals showed no significant differences (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the mean percentage of antibody positive sperms and the rate of ASA positive sera in fertile and infertile men and women (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Presence of ASAs in the serum may not be associated with infertility. Although antisperm antibodies may interfere with fertility, not all types of ASAs can associate with infertility. Current tests cannot differentiate the ASAs that interfere with infertility from those that do not, because the antigenic specificities of these ASAs are not known. The antigens of the infertility-related ASAs must be characterized to allow an accurate detection for individuals with ASAs.

Frequency of Antisperm Antibodies in Infertile Women

BACKGROUND Infertility is one of the common problems seen in couples of reproductive age. Presence of antisperm antibodies in semen and serum are amongst the causes of immunoinfertility. This study was performed to determine antisperm antibodies in cervicovaginal secretions and serum of infertile women and also measure serum levels of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM and IgA). METHODS The study cons...

P-57: Evaluation of HSPA2 in Fertile and Infertile Individuals

Background: Heat-shock protein A2 (HspA2) is a testisspecific member of the HSP70 family known to play a critical role in spermatogenic cell differentiation. HspA2 is correlated with sperm maturity, function and fertility, and diminished expression of HspA2 results in abnormal sperm maturity and infertility. The aim of this study was to compare expression of HspA2 in fertile and infertile indiv...

Antiidiotypic antibodies to sperm in sera of fertile women that neutralize antisperm antibodies.

The presence of antiidiotypic antibodies (ab-2) to sperm was investigated in the sera of fertile, infertile, and virgin women using sperm-specific anti-FA-1 monoclonal antibody Fab'.ab-2 were detected in 71% (17/24) of sera from fertile women and in none (0/12) of the sera from virgin females by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blot procedure, and immunoprecipitation procedure. Se...
