Abstract
The present invention discloses an immunological test for the detection and specific determination of autoantibodies against testicular antigens which are associated with inflammation-related fertility disorders of male mammals in a biological sample of a male mammal, in particular the detection of testicular ER-60 autoantibodies and/or transferrin autoantibodies. The immunological test is utilized to detect the presence of immunologically-caused and infection-related infertility in male mammals, particularly in humans.
