IgG and IgA levels in split ejaculates of 17 patients with chronic prostatitis and 12 normal subjects were studied by the single radial immunodiffusion method. For the determination of 7S and 11S IgA levels, Hanson' radial immunogel filtration method was applied. The results suggest, at least in certain cases of prostatitis, an elevation of IgA level involves an increase of both types of IgA, and they are mainly of prostatic origin.
