Human spermatozoa from 87 donors with normal or pathologic semen specimen were examined for the expression of HLA‐class I and class II antigens as well as ß2‐microglobulin (ß2m)using a panel of monoclonal antibodies in an indirect immunofluorescence test. The results make it very unlikely that HLA‐class I and class II molecules as well as ß2m are expressed on human sperm cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
