Evaluation of Surface Markers on Lymphocytes after Culture with Human Spermatozoa

In some combined cultures of spermatozoa and lymphocytes where there were relatively high levels of lymphocyte proliferation, but not in cultures where there were low levels of proliferation, the percentages of cells carrying T or B lymphocyte markers were higher than in control cultures containing only lymphocytes. However, no differences were observed between the results obtained from cultures involving autologous or allogeneic spermatozoa.
