Abstract
The zona pellucida contains a specific antigen(s) currently being investigated for immunocontraceptive purposes. A chromatographically purified preparation of .gamma.-globulin produced against isolated zonae pellucidae of mice was used to immunize mice. A single 2.5 mg dose totally inhibited fertility for a minimum of 11 days.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
