Abstract
Couples (20) suffering from unexplained infertility were tested in mixed leucocyte culture [MLC] to determine if the wives were preimmunized against their husbands. The wives were tested against their husbands and 4 unrelated persons, and thymidine incorporation was measured on the 3rd and 5th days of culture. No evidence was found that would indicate a preimmunization of the wife against her husband as an explanation for their infertility. A slight MLC stimulatory capacity was found in sera from infertile women.
