Thirty‐seven semen samples were assayed for sperm‐associated IgG and IgA using the immunobead test. Portions of these sperm samples were sent for testing with a direct radiolabeled antiglobulin assay and the testing results were compared. If the results of the immunobead test when only tail‐tip bead binding was noted are regarded as negative, there was close correlation between the two assay methodologies.
