Funded Activity Summary

Infertility affects one in seven couples desiring children. A proportion (5-10%) of the male partners in these couples have immunological reactions against their own sperm. The testes, where sperm are made, and the immune system normally exist in a balanced, beneficial relationship, but sometimes this relationship goes wrong. This can also lead to chronic pain and increased risk of testicular cancer. The project investigates this relationship in order to provide assistance for these men and their partners.
