What are immunocontraceptives?

Answer 1

Immunocontraceptives are a type of contraceptive method that use the body's immune system to prevent pregnancy. They work by inducing an immune response against specific reproductive proteins, such as sperm or hormones involved in ovulation, thus inhibiting fertilization or implantation. This approach can be used in both humans and wildlife management to control populations. Immunocontraceptives offer a potentially reversible and long-term solution compared to traditional hormonal or barrier methods.
