Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 獸醫學系 === 86 === Birth control is more and more important now a days which helps to manage the farm animals and to solve the problem of pet over population and the most common methods people use for it are surgical, chemical contraception as well steroid hormone suppression. Immunocontracepton is a new approach with high potential. We use Pseudomonus Exotoxin A as a carrier protein to enhance the immunogencity of GnRH by either chemical conjugation to form a subunit vaccine or the technic of recombinant DNA to form a recombinant DNA vaccine and then have then have them applied on animals to evaluate the titer of anti- GnRH antibody. In our experiments we found that once the antibody titer increased, the gonadoglands become atrophy and result in infertility in some of experimental animals.
