Abstract
Sixty-two specimens of seminal plasma obtained from normozoospermic, o ligozoospermic, azoospermic, and immunologically infertile males were investigated. The levels of spermine, basal aldehyde, and aldehyde oxi dation products were measured, as was the immunosuppressive activity o f seminal plasma. No immunosuppressive activity was found in the immun ologically infertile group; all other groups showed immunosuppressive activity. The immunologically infertile males showed low aldehyde oxid ation products.
