Summary for Patent: 4,123,519
Title: | Injectable contraceptive vaccine and method |
Abstract: | An injectable contraceptive vaccine, a method of preparing said vaccine and the method of preventing conception in mammals by use of said vaccine, is disclosed. A vaccine which stimulates the production of antibodies directed against a hormone essential to the reproductive cycle of a mammal is prepared by coupling such a hormone to a carrier to form a hormone-carrier conjugate. Conception in mammals is prevented by injection of such vaccine during the proper period of the reproductive cycle of said mammal. Specifically described is the vaccine prepared by coupling a hormone, such as estradiol-17 beta, with a protein and its use to sterilize a female of the canine species. |

Application Number: | 05/880,506 |
Patent Claims: | 1. A method of inducing a contraceptive effect in a female canine having had at least one previous estrous cycle, which method comprises parenterally administering to said
female canine during the period subsequent to estrous, in an amount sufficient to bind at least 70 pg of estradiol-17 beta per ml of serum, an injectable composition capable of preventing conception in a female canine, said injectable composition being
produced by a process which comprises the steps of: esterifying the hydroxyl groups of estradiol-17 beta with succinic anhydride to form the estradiol-17 beta hemisuccinate and coupling said hemisuccinate to the amino group of a protein selected from the
group consisting of keyhole limpet hemocyanin, bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin, about 5 to about 40 molecules of estradiol-17 beta being bound to each molecule of the protein, to obtain an antigen and emulsifying said antigen in an adjuvant
in the order of 1 mg of antigen per 2 mls of adjuvant therefor.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the protein is bovine serum albumin. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein 15-25 molecules of the estradiol-17 beta hemisuccinate are coupled to each molecule of the bovine serum albumin. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the estradiol-17-beta succinate is coupled to the protein via the carbodiimide condensation. |
