The results showed that mouse-specific contraceptive peptides were successfully produced in plants. All peptides induced IgG antibodies in subcutaneously vaccinated mice. Moreover, oral delivery of the leaves expressing a fusion protein elicited systemic and mucosal cross-reactive antibodies. Observations suggest that plant-produced contraceptives have the potential to be used in the development of feeding baits to reduce the fertility of mice. %L 580 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00004672 %U https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00004672 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00004672-2 %U https://d-nb.info/1342194268/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00004672
