Potential of Sonicated Sperm Proteins as an Immunocontraceptive Agent in House Rat, Rattus Rattus
S. Garg, D. K. Kocher, M. Chandra
Abstract :
Immunization of house rats with 500 µg of sonicated sperm proteins (SSP) resulted in maximum production of antisperm–antibodies (ASA) in the form of 93.88% positivity at 21 days post immunization (DPI) as compared to other two prepared antigens i.e 100 and 1000 µg of SSP. Study of various sperm parameters revealed a significant reduction in sperm concentration (million/ml) from 161.84±18.79 (control) to 16.40±0.90, percent sperm motility from 88.33±7.26 (control) to 46.67±1.67 and increase in percent sperm abnormalities from 1.55±0.45 (control) to 67.81±8.31 after immunization with 500 µg of SSP, indicating the potential of this antigenic preparation for its use as an immunocontraceptive agent.
