BACKGROUND Infertility is one of the common problems seen in couples of reproductive age. Presence of antisperm antibodies in semen and serum are amongst the causes of immunoinfertility. This study was performed to determine antisperm antibodies in cervicovaginal secretions and serum of infertile women and also measure serum levels of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM and IgA). METHODS The study cons...

Studies in man (1, 2), rabbit (3), and guinea pig (4) have shown that the 18S 71-macroglobu]ins (IgM) are catabolized much more rapidly than 7S 72-globulins (IgG). Thus, immunoglobulin classes may differ in their rates of turnover. Differences in the catabolic control of immunoglobulins are also discernable. The serum level of 7S 7-globulin (IgG) helps to determine the catabolic rate; the highe...
