Immunization With SPRASA Leads to a Reduction in Fertility in Female Mice.a,b

Immunization Number of Mice Pregnant After Each Mating
First Second Third Forth Fifth Summary
SPRASA 2/10 1/8 0/8 0/8 0/5 3/10 (30%) P = .001
KLH 4/8 4/4 8/8 (100%)

Abbreviations: KLH, keyhole limpet hemocyanin; SPRASA, sperm protein reactive with antisperm antibody.

aAnimals were euthanized to confirm pregnancy. Pregnancy is defined as confirmed fetuses at day 12 postcoitus.

bThe P value refers to a chi-square test comparing the total number of pregnant mice over all matings in the SPRASA-immunized and control KLH-immunized groups.
