ABSTRACT:
A kit and method for detecting sperm production in a human male individual includes the provision of one or more antibodies for sperm tissue-specific protein antigen, such as SP-10, which can be combined with a sample suspected of containing sperm to permit the antibody and the antigen to bind. The binding event is determined directly or indirectly, which is indicative of the presence of sperm in the sample. The frequency of binding can also be determined by calibrating the means used to determine the binding event, so as to indicate sperm production at or above a given concentration. A variety of applications for the kit and method are described.
