[Spermatozoa immunity].

A report is given on the spermatozoan and seminal plasma antigens and the possibilities of immunization of woman and man with these antigens. The occurence of sperm antibodies is demonstrable with more or less specific methods. The clinical importance of sperm antibodies for female fertility depends on quality of semen and many other factors. The local immune reactions to sperm and other reproductive antigens in the female genital tract has been inferred from the detection of higher titer of activity in tissue than was found in the circulation.
