Sperm antibody test.

摘要

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the detection of sperm antibodies bound to the surface of spermatozoa or present in human serum, seminal plasma or cervical mucous through the use of immunoassays employing latex beads coupled to anti-human immunoglobulins. Preferably the beads are monodispersed polystyrene beads coupled to the anti-human immunoglobulins through a bridge of a polyamine, such as polylysine, having amino acid residues of about 200 to about 1,000. The beads are also preferably about 2 to about 4 microns in size.
