ABSTRACT:
Recombinant zona pellucidae proteins having altered, non-native glycosylation patterns are able to elicit the production of antibodies to matured zona pellucida proteins. Such recombinant proteins and the elicited antibodies can therefore be used in a contraceptive vaccine to prevent pregnancy in humans and animals.
