The antibodies existing on the sperm surface may decrease sperm motility, block the sperm’s passage into the cervical mucus, as well as inhibit the sperm-oocyte binding, thus to cause the failure of fertilization. The antibody-coating of spermatozoa is considered as the typical and specific index of immunologic infertility. Once the result of MAR IgG test is abnormal, the additional test of MAR IgA is then required. The abnormal result of MAR test would be probably diagnosed as immunologic infertility, yet this diagnosis shall be confirmed via other tests (sperm-cervical mucus contact test, sperm-cervical mucus capillary tube test).
