Abstract
Antisperm antibodies (ASA) is defined as an immunoglobulin with antibody activity against a sperm antigen that plays a role in fertility, since not every antibody that binds to the sperm surface influences sperm function.
ASAs have been found in serum and seminal plasma and bound directly to spermatozoa. ASAs often negatively affect the motility of spermatozoa in the semen. Their ability to pass through female genital secretions and their fertilizing capacity. They also affect sperm–oocyte binding and initial stage of embryo development.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a single-stranded RNA virus that is known to be responsible for both hepatic and extrahepatic disease. HCV infection is a major health problem. It represents the second most common chronic viral infection worldwide, it has been hypothesised that HCV infection of lymphocytes is the cause for the increased autoimmune phenomena and autoantibody production reported in association with HCV.
