Abstract

The novel antigenic linear peptides of this invention comprise peptides of from 4 to 13 amino acids, which are characterized by containing the sequence valine-leucine-aspartic acid-methionine. These compounds correspond with the amino acids 231 to 243, or segments thereof including sequence 239-242 of mouse LDH-C.sub.4. The coupounds have utility in vaccines for reducing the fertility of female mammals.
