Antispermatozoal antibodies in human colostrum and milk.
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.
