Abstract
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.
