The Effect of Sera Antisperm Antibodies in the Female Partner on In Vivo and In Vitro Pregnancy and Spontaneous Abortion Rates

PROBLEM: To determine the incidence of antisperm antibodies (ASA) in female sera from infertile couples or those suffering from recurrent abortions. Also to determine if the pregnancy and/or abortion rates are any higher in those positive versus those negative for ASA.
