Abstract

945 human sera from children, fertile and infertile females, pregnant women and fertile and infertile males were tested for antibodies to porcine zona pellucida by immunofluorescence and the pronase-induced zona-lysis inhibition test. Positive sera were found in each of the groups examined, with a higher percentage of anti-zona activity in infertile, pregnant and menopausal women. There was no correlation between anti-sperm antibody titer and the incidence of anti-zona activity in either female or male human sera, nor did the occurrence of anti-zona activity correlate with a particular blood group type.
