Immunological approaches

Several other antigens with good immunocontraceptive potential have been identified and investigated in laboratory animals. In most studies, the rate and duration of the immunocontraceptive effect are less than acceptable. A potential problem in immunological approaches to antifertUity research is the need for a safe, effective adjuvant and suitable animal models for evaluating the efficacy and safety of methods (111). Newer and more effective adjuvants are required for contraceptive vaccines and vaccines in general.

The classical microbial assay approaches to measuring antibiotic residues, diffusion, turbidimetric and acid production were described and the advantages and limitations reviewed. Other systems so discussed and reviewed were the affinity or receptor methods and the immunological approach using ELISA or EMIT assay techniques. The classical systems, in general, could measure antibiotic residues at the fractional ppm to the ppb levels. The potentials of the receptor and immunological assay system were discussed. 

In extension to classical immunologic approaches in CE the use for more complex systems than the detection of proteinlike antigens is possible. 

The functional role of the oligosaccharide side-chains in maintaining conformation and antigenicity has also been studied by use of an immunological approach. Antibodies directed against nonglyeosyl-ated, envelope proteins of Semliki Forest virus did not react with the...
