Immunocontraceptive target repertoire defined by systematic identification of sperm membrane alloantigens in a single species.
Sperm competence in animal fertilization requires the collective activities of numerous sperm-specific proteins that are typically alloimmunogenic in females. Consequently, sperm membrane alloantigens are potential targets for contraceptives that act by blocking the proteins' functions in gamet...
