Semen

TL;DR: Comparisons of measurements of fibronectin and lactoferrin in ejaculates from vasectomized men, subjects with functional deficiency or aplasia of the seminal vesicles, and reference subjects provided evidence that both the fibronECTin and the lactofermin in human seminal fluid originate from the seminalVesicles and the ampullae.

TL;DR: Preliminary in vivo experiments support a suppressive role of seminal plasma in breeding-induced endometritis, and preliminary characterization of the immune-suppressive component in seminal plasma suggests it is one or more molecule(s) with a molecular weight between 50 and 100 kDa.

TL;DR: The immunological effects of human seminal plasma, including its suppressive effect on in vitro and in vivo immune responses, the nature and action of the factors involved and their possible clinical relevance are discussed.

TL;DR: Existing criteria for pretherapy semen cryobanking should be revised in view of successful pregnancies even with the use of semen with low spermatozoal densities and motilities, as well as other realized clinical efficacies of ART.

TL;DR: Tests for HIV-1 with the use of the polymerase chain reaction technique on the semen fraction obtained after washing appears to prevent infection in the inseminated woman.
