The SCMC test: a screening test for spermatozoal antibodies.
The sperm cervical mucus contact test (SCMC-test) were performed on 62 couples on account of their post coital test results. Fifteen of the 17 couples (88%) who repeatedly demonstrated unexpected poor post coital tests, revealed a positive SCMC-test. In 10 cases the SCMC test results were confirmed by the tray-agglutination and mixed antiglobulin reaction. The SCMC-test is considered to be a reliable screening test for the detection of spermantibodies amongst infertile couples.
