Abstract
The invention provides an immunogenic composition comprising a GnRH multimer and an antigenic carrier, an immunogenic composition comprising a recombinant vector containing a nucleic acid molecule encoding a GnRH multimer and optionally an antigenic carrier, antibodies elicited by the immunogenic compositions, and methods of using the immunogenic compositions and antibodies for modifying sexual physiology and behavior, improving the organoleptic properties of meat, and treating androgen-dependent prostate tumors and GnRH-sensitive ovarian tumors.
