Abstract
A Review: Have we Identified the Risk Factors for the Formation of Antisperm Antibodies?
Spermatozoa were first demonstrated as immunogenic more than a century ago. Subsequent research has lead to the discovery of antisperm antibodies (ASA) and their effects on infertility. However, the precise etiology of the formation of ASA is yet to be worked out in spite of the large number of research conducted on it. During these investigations, many scientists have exposed the risk factors for the formation of ASA while others expressed the controversies
