MAR-test (англ. MAR-test) is a test that is conducted during semen analysis and allows the assessment of the presence of antisperm antibodies in a man's semen.
Antisperm antibodies are proteins that can form in the body of a man or woman and are directed against sperm cells, which can lead to their destruction or impairment of their functions.
The MAR-test involves exposing the semen to sperm antigens and measuring the number of antibodies bound to them.
Usually, the test is conducted on two semen samples: the first one is before processing, the second one is after processing by adding antigens to it.
High levels of antisperm antibodies can be associated with various causes, such as infections, injuries, surgical interventions, immune system disorders, and other factors. This can lead to a decrease in the number and quality of sperm and fertility issues.
The MAR test can be useful in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.
as well as in choosing the method of artificial insemination.
