title: The immunobead test as a sperm antibody detector.
abstract: The occurrence of sperm antibodies on the surface of sperm can be demonstrated by several methods. A study to evaluate the immunobead (IB) test as a laboratory procedure during the detection of sperm antibodies among infertile males showed an overall prevalence of 6.8% and 5.8% for IgG and IgA respectively--convincing evidence that the IB test can be employed as a sperm antibody detector.
