    Author: Luca IC.
    Journal: Rom J Morphol Embryol; 1998; 44(1-4):61-4. PubMed ID: 15678844.
    Abstract:
    Used indirect immunofluorescence to put in evidence different types of auto-antibodies, involved in the etiopathogenesis of endocrine autoimmune diseases--thyroid auto-antibodies, anti-sperm antibodies, determined in the serum of both partners of the infertile couples, with infertility of unknown cause, ovary auto-antibodies, in early menopause cases. Besides the establish of a precise etiological diagnosis, this method offers the possibility to localize the auto-antibodies in the tissue and/or in the cells and also the chance to identify some types of auto-antibodies. In the case of thyroid auto-antibodies--antithyroglobulin and antimicrosomal antibodies, in the case of anti-sperm antibodies--anti-head, anti-intermediary piece, anti-acrosomal or anti-tail and anti-ovary antibodies--anti-oocyte, anti tecca granulosa or anti internal tecca.
