Allison Voisin, Fabrice Saez, Joël R Drevet, Rachel GuitonAsian Journal of Andrology 2019 21(6):531-539 Up to 15% of male infertility has an immunological origin, either due to repetitive infections or to autoimmune responses mainly affecting the epididymis, prostate, and testis. Clinical observations and epidemiological data clearly contradict the idea that the testis confers immune protection to the whole male genital tract. As a consequence, the epididymis, in which posttesticular spermatozoa...
