title: Antispermatozoal antibodies in human colostrum and milk.
abstract: Authors studied antisperm activity in human colostrum and milk by tray agglutination (TAT) and indirect mixed antiglobulin reaction (MAR) tests. Spermagglutination observed by TAT was found in 10 patients (24%) in colostrum, in 3 (5%) in milk. Character of spermantibodies by indirect MAR-test showed the presence of sIgA in 6 (14%), in IgG in 4 (9.5%) in colostrum, the presence of sIgA in 3 (4.8%), of sIgA and IgG together in 1 (1.7%) in milk. Authors discuss the origin of these antibodies.
