Immunosuppression of Fertility by LDH-C4

摘要: The natural response of the immune system to foreign proteins can be exploited in development a vaccine for control fertility. Potential target antigens such include those that are found specifically on surface sperm and absent from somatic tissues (reviewed by Aitken, 1982, Goldberg, 1983, Anderson Alexander, 1983). Such uniquely suited incorporation into may applicable both male female use. They do not appear until spermatogenesis begins, which is after has already become tolerant “self-antigens”. Even they appear, isolated blood-testes barrier. at all tissues. Thus these provoke antibody formation either males or females. Furthermore, would have advantage over currently available contraceptive methodologies interfering with hormonal metabolic functions.
