Thirteen infertile women with high titres of spermagglutinating antibodies in their serum and/or in cervical mucus underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET). Fertilization occurred in 68% of the oocytes in a serum-free medium. Eight pregnancies were obtained in 22 IVF cycles (36.4%). Anti-sperm antibodies were found in the follicular fluids of 5 out of the 11 women with circulating antibodies. Fertilization results were independent of both the localization and the level of anti-sperm antibodies. From these data we can conclude that IVF-ET is a suitable treatment for long lasting female infertility linked to anti-sperm immunity.

D004624 Embryo Transfer The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
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.
