The aim of this investigation was to determine the incidence of sperm-bound antibodies in the male partners of an unselected infertile population using an immunologically specific test (IBT). With this method 34 out of 450 infertile men (7.55%) were positive for one or more of the immunoglobulins IgA, IgG and IgM. For IgG and IgA, the majority of antibody binding was located on the entire sperm with a minor amount bound to the head or tail. For the IgM, the majority of the binding was detected to the tail tip, and tail binding was observed only in a minority of cases.

D007132 Immunoglobulin Isotypes The classes of immunoglobulins found in any species of animal. In man there are nine classes that migrate in five different groups in electrophoresis; they each consist of two light and two heavy protein chains, and each group has distinguishing structural and functional properties.

D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
