An improved peptide, immunogenic composition and vaccine or medical preparation, a method to immunise animals against th e hormone lhrh, and analogs of the lhrh tandem repeat peptid e and their use as vaccine
The invention relates to a modified tandem LHRH-peptide vaccine preparation in which the amino acid glycine at position (6) of one or both LHRH decapeptides that constitute the tandem unit is substituted by a dextrorotatory amino acid that contains a side chain to which a carrier compound can be coupled. In addition, the tandem LHRH-peptide can be brought into a tandem-dimer form which is also suitable for producing a vaccine that is effective against LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone) also referred to as GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone), for immunological castration, to inhibit or affect reproductive functions or to affect behaviour in vertebrates in general and in domesticated animals and man in particular.
