Response to seminal antigens has a role in sexual reproduction?
Insemination elicits inflammatory changes in female reproductive tissues, but whether this results in immunological priming to paternal antigens or influences pregnancy outcome is not clear. We have evaluated indices of lymphocyte activation in lymph nodes draining the uterus following allogeneic mating in mice and have investigated the significance of sperm and plasma constituents of semen in the response. After insemination both cellular and humoral immune response modified their parameters.
How specific this is?
A nice way to get lost into immunological phantasy
