Research Abstract

Experimental autoimmune orchitis(EAO) is a model of immunological inflammation demonstrating development of male infertility. We tried to develop the male contraceptive vaccine using murine EAO model induced by the immunization of sperm and spermatid antigens. The results showed that five kinds of protein from candidating 18 genes were adequate for induction of EAO. Moreover, we clarified the pathology of post-active inflammation stage of EAO. These results lead to the development of male contraceptive vaccine.
