Seminal plasma protects human spermatozoa and pathogenic yeasts from capture by dendritic cells

BACKGROUND During the process of fertilization, human spermatozoa are confronted with phagocytic cells of the female reproductive tract. Part of this host mucosal barrier are immature dendritic cells (DCs), which play an important role in the defense of invading microbial pathogens. In the present s...
