One new way to destroy animals’ fertility, which could be soon applied to humans is to use a gene therapy or vaccine-like shots.  A new study of such a gene herapy has been successfully tested in cats.

The gene is a hormone gene inserted into an adeno-associated virus which is commonly used as a vector to get the gene via a vaccine shot into the host’s DNA, in this case, cat’ cells.

Researchers say that they do not know how the gene therapy works, but there have been no pregnancies in female cats during two years of observation.

One possibility is that gene therapy gets rid of some sexual hormone because of which the felines studied refused to mate.

This gene and the virus when mixed into a common vaccine could potentially eliminate people’s fertility.

一種可以很快應用於人類的破壞動物生育能力的新方法是使用基因療法或類似疫苗的注射。 一項關於這種基因療法的新研究已在貓身上成功測試。

該基因是插入腺相關病毒中的激素基因,腺相關病毒通常用作載體,通過注射到宿主 DNA 中的疫苗獲得該基因,在本例中為貓細胞。

研究人員表示,他們不知道基因療法是如何起作用的,但在兩年的觀察中,沒有母貓懷孕。

一種可能性是基因療法消除了一些性激素,因為研究的貓科動物拒絕交配。

當這種基因和病毒混合成一種普通疫苗時,可能會消除人們的生育能力。
