title: [Progress in the study of immunocontraceptive antigens].
abstract: Fertility management is a global issue of medical, economic, and social consequence. Although many methods have been devised to inhibit reproduction, more acceptable alternatives are still needed. Regulation by immune intervention is a promising technology as applied to human beings. The objective of this review is to indicate several immunocontraceptive antigens.
