Abstract

Twenty-five patients were studied for the presence of sperm antibodies in their cervical mucus and seminal plasma. The sperm cervical mucus contact test (SCMC) and the immunobead test (IBT) were used to evaluate sperm antibody activity. A close correlation was found between the results of the SCMC and IBT tests, and it was concluded that both techniques can be regarded as good indicators of sperm antibodies.
