Abstract

An FAMG-Fertitest-M test-system for quantitation of fertility α2-microglobulin (FAMG) in biological fluids has been developed. It is based on original monoclonal antibodies against two different epitopes of FAMG. The range of FAMG concentrations reflecting thein vitro fertilizing capacity of sperm is determined, which allows one to assess the effectiveness of extracorporeal fertilization in the treatment of infertility.
