The role of Micro-S.I.T. in the evaluation of antisperm immunization in infertile women.
We tested the women of 45 infertile couples with negative or dubious P.C.T. and without any other evident reason for infertility. The presence of female immunization was discovered in 57,7% of the couples examined by S.C.M.C.-Test, Micro-S.I.T. at cervical level and S.I.T. in the sera. 100% of immunized women showed topical immunization (S.C.M.C.-Test and/or Micro-S.I.T. positive), and 28,8% of immunized women showed seric immunization. We found that in the 84,6% with topical immunization the positive results were exactly the same in S.C.M.C.-test and Micro-S.I.T.
