Dominant Prostasome Immunogens for Sperm‐Agglutinating Autoantibodies of Infertile Men
10 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
The presence of naturally occurring anti-sperm antibodies (ASA) is a well-known cause of infertility in men and women, but the antigens for these antibodies are poorly characterized. We have previously shown that prostasomes adhere to sperm cells and that prostasomes are major targets for ASA associated with infertility. These autoantigens have not been characterized. We used 2-dimensional electrophoresis,...
