Abstract
Human seminal plasma contains a component that binds immunoglobulins ( Ig). The Ig binding factor was purified by ammonium sulphate precipita tion, preparative isoelectrofocusing and gel filtration chromatography and found to bind strongly human IgGl and mouse IgM. This seminal pla sma component may possess immunosuppressive activity and may modulate the activities of the immunosurveillance system of the reproductive tr act.
