Amphiphilic and hydrophilic domains of human sperm membrane antigens recognized by immunoinfertile sera.
Selected sera from married couples with immunological infertility were used to identify antigens on hydrophilic and amphiphilic domains of human sperm membrane. Out of eight sera, six recognized proteins from the hydrophilic as well as amphiphilic regions of the sperm membrane. Sera were either reactive to acrosome or to equator and tail of human sperms in indirect immunofluorescence assay.
