title: Immunoglobulin A in split ejaculates of patients with prostatitis.
abstract: 7S and 11S IgA (immunoglobulin A) levels in split ejaculates of 17 patients with chronic prostatis and 16 normal subjects were studied by the Hanson radial immunogel filtration method. The results suggest at least in certain cases of prostatitis increase of IgA level involves elevation of both types of IgA, and they are mainly of prostatic origin.
