Immunocontraception for population control: Will resistance evolve?
Immunology and Cell Biology, 2003The prospect for successful biocontrol using immunocontraception is threatened if there is adaptation to the vaccine through natural selection of individuals that are genetically resistant to the contraceptive agent. To assess this possibility we examined the literature and found that little relevant data are available for any species on the ...

Immunocontraception of male domestic cats using GnRH vaccine Improvac.
Theriogenology, 2022The domestic cat is a highly prolific species; thus, reproductive control is crucial to reducing feral cat overpopulation. This study aimed to assess the effect of a commercially-available GnRH vaccine for swine on suppressing sperm production in male ...

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2019 In social species like the feral horse (Equus caballus), changes in individual behavior are likely to affect associated animals. On Shackleford Banks, North Carolina, USA, mares treated with the contraceptive agent porcine zona pellucida (PZP ...

Designing an effective immunocontraceptive
Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 1997The immunological inhibition of fertilization is the goal of gamete immunocontraception. To achieve this goal a gamete-specific antigen target must be defined and the presentation of the immunogen to the immune system must be clearly understood in order to elicit a defined immune response which will target the native gamete molecule.

Recent developments in immunocontraception
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1987The possibility of controlling fertility by antibodies inactivating key reproductive hormones has been amply demonstrated by active and passive immunization in primates. Four birth control vaccines directed against human chorionic gonadotropin are currently in early clinical trials.

Is there a role for immunocontraception?
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2011The world's population is continuing to grow at an alarming rate and yet no novel methods of contraception have been introduced since 1960s. The paucity of our current contraceptive armoury is indicated by the 46 million abortions that are performed each year, largely in developing countries where population growth is greatest. Thus, whatever new forms

Immunocontraception with Zona pellucida Proteins
Cells Tissues Organs, 2000The prospect of an immunological approach to contraception that would disrupt the process of fertilisation itself has resulted in a considerable interest into research in this area. It has been known for some time that antibodies raised against the zona pellucida (ZP) can suppress fertility very effectively.

Immunocontraceptive Approaches in Females
2005In the female reproductive system, there are multiple points, where immunointerception is feasible. Among these, the most promising are those that interfere immunologically at the level of sperm-egg interaction or neutralize human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is required for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Immunization studies in
