Abstract: A method for specifically inducing transient infertility or permanent sterility in a host animal by selective vaccination with specific zona pellucida proteins or immunocontraceptively active fragments thereof. Novel zona pellucida DNA sequences encoding specific zona pellucida proteins are disclosed.
Abstract: The invention relates to antigenic preparations useful for inducing the production of antibodies in an individual which will bind to epitopes on zona pellucida. Also disclosed are immunogenic compositions and methods for immunizing an individual to enable the production of antibodies to zona pellucida antigens. Also disclosed are the use of these recombinant molecules and monoclonal antibodies thereto for immunocontraception or sterilization.
Abstract: Improved methods for modulating the human sexual response by orally administering a rapidly dissolving tablet comprising phentolamine mesylate or phentolamine hydrochloride is disclosed.
Abstract: The invention is directed to improved methods for modulating the human sexual response by administering a vasodilator to the circulation by a route of administration that avoids the "first-pass" effect.
