Abstract:
Birth control vaccines constitute a new category of vaccines. Immunization with the objective of selectively blocking a physiological process differs in many respects from immunizing against pathogens. Conceptually, these widen the orbit of therapeutic intervention by immunological methods. Success recorded in making vaccines regulating fertility offers models to regulate any other physiological process in the body. At a practical level, the task of making such vaccines is beset with inherent difficulties and with new challenges. This article, dedicated to Avrion Mitchison, aims to discuss these problems and to record successes wherever achieved.
