The seminal fluid is a complex medium containing a great variety of molecules, mainly
produced by sex accessory glands, and also cells other than spermatozoa (eg leucocytes) …

Seminal fluid is often assumed to have just one function in mammalian reproduction,
delivering sperm to fertilize oocytes. But seminal fluid also transmits signaling agents that …

T regulatory (Treg) cells are implicated in maternal immune tolerance of the conceptus at
implantation; however, the antigenic and regulatory signals controlling Treg cells in early …

Spermatozoa travel a long distance to meet and fertilize the oocyte, so sperm motility is a
requisite for normal fertilization. Asthenozoospermia, or low sperm motility, is a common …

TGFβ is a potent immune deviating agent, driving active forms of immune tolerance in
peripheral tissues through effects on the induction and resolution of inflammatory responses …

Background Antisperm antibodies (ASA) in males cause the autoimmune disease 'immune
infertility'. The mechanism of ASA cause male infertility is not clear. Present studies have …

An animal model for the heterosexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
was developed by the application of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) onto the genital …

Successful reproduction is critical to pass genes to the next generation. Seminal proteins
contribute to important reproductive processes that lead to fertilization in species ranging …

Objectives: The role of zinc therapy on infertility caused by defective sperm quality is
examined. Study design: In this study, 100 men with asthenozoospermia were randomised …

Successful pregnancy requires a state of maternal immune 'tolerance'to accommodate
antigens expressed by the conceptus. Implantation failure and placental pathologies largely …
