title: [Advances in research on the target antigens of antisperm antibodies].
abstract: Antisperm antibodies can lead to immunological infertility. Further research on the target antigens of antisperm antibodies may help to discover the causal relationship of antisperm antibodies to infertility. This paper summarizes the structure and function of the six target antigens of antisperm antibodies found recently, so as to discover the causal relationship of the antibodies to infertility and provide a basis for screening a vaccine for immunological contraception.
