The blood samples were taken at 6 weeks, 3-6 months, 7-12 months and 6 years after operation. The Franklin - Duker agglutination test and passive immunofluorescence test for detecting sperm antibodies were used. The results were as follows: in 40 control, there was only one, who had agglutinating sperm antibodies, i.e 2.5%; 39.5% incidence of sperm antibodies were found in vasectomized men one year after operation. In the time of 6 weeks, that was 9%, less three months was 12.1%, 3 to 6 months was 40.3%, 7 to 12 months was 48.8%; 25.3% vasectomized men exhibited sperm antibodies 1 to 6 years after operation; the sperm antibodies incidence of Kinh men was lower than Muong men, that were 38.4% and 44.4% respectively; the antibodies detected by immunofluorescence test were IgG binding in the acrosome or neck and tail of spermatozoa
