Scientific name: Anti-Sperm Antibody Test (ASA)
This test detects the presence of anti-sperm antibodies (ASAs) in semen samples, seminal plasma, or sometimes blood serum. These antibodies bind to the surfaces of sperm (head, tail, or midpiece), causing them to clump together (agglutination), reducing their motility, and hindering fertilization.
