Antisperm antibodies

Immune antibodies that bind sperm and impair movement.

Male fertility

Antisperm antibodies can develop after vasectomy, testicular injury or infection, causing sperm to clump and move poorly. ICSI is the usual way around them when they are clinically significant.

Also known as: sperm antibodies, MAR test
