Abstract
Human semen serves as fluids medium in which sperm cells are dispersed and swim within. Semen contains about 90% water along with proteins that include Immunoglobulin-A (I g A), Haptoglobin, fructose sugar, other dissolved substances and electrolyte. Apart from preserving the sperm cells, semen may carry certain immunological feature as part of its protective functions. From a male partner in coital activity, semen’s cellular component and proteins deposited into the vagina do not antigenically qualify as ‘self’. This is a study to determine a possible agglutination resistant effect of semen on various types of ABO and Rhesus blood group members or agglutination enhancing effect of the same ABO and Rhesus group members.
人类精液作为液体介质,精子细胞在其中分散和游动。精液含有约90%的水和蛋白质,包括免疫球蛋白A (I g A)、珠蛋白、果糖、其他溶解物质和电解质。除了保存精子细胞外,精液还具有一定的免疫特性,作为其保护功能的一部分。在性交活动中,来自男性伴侣的精液的细胞成分和沉积到阴道中的蛋白质在抗原性上不符合“自我”的条件。本研究旨在确定精液对不同血型ABO和恒河猴血型成员可能存在的抗凝集作用或同一血型ABO和恒河猴血型成员可能存在的增强凝集作用。
