The quantum interference corrections to the conductivity are calculated for an electron gas in asymmetric quantum wells in a magnetic field. The theory takes into account two different types of the spin splitting of the conduction band: the Dresselhaus terms, both linear and cubic in the wave vector, and the Rashba term, linear in wave vector. It is shown that the contributions of these terms into magnetoconductivity are not additive, as it was traditionally assumed. While the contributions of all terms of the conduction band splitting into the D'yakonov--Perel' spin relaxation rate are additive, in the conductivity the two linear terms cancel each other, and, when they are equal, in the absence of the cubic terms the conduction band spin splitting does not show up in the magnetoconductivity at all. The theory agrees very well with experimental results and enables one to determine experimentally parameters of the spin-orbit splitting of the conduction band.
