Abstract:
Although there are several methods of contraception available, the population explosion and unintended pregnancies continue to cause major health issues and constrain resources worldwide. A better method of contraception that is acceptable in developed as well as developing countries is urgently needed. Contraceptive vaccines (CVs) can fulfil most of the properties of an ideal contraceptive. The development of CVs is an exciting proposition and has drawn significant attention lately. The purpose of this article is to review the present status and future perspectives of CVs for human use, and for control of farm, feral, stray and domestic animal populations.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
