Abstract
The frequent development of sperm antibodies following vasectomy does not appear to be related to the formation of other autoantibodies. We have examined serum taken from 346 men before and 6 months after vasectomy for seven different autoantibodies. The occurrence of positive results is comparable to any normal population.Entities:
