Pregnancy prevention by CORN A San Diago biotechnology company Epicyte has discovered a rare class of human antibodies that attack sperm. By isolating the genes that regulate the manufacture of these antibodies, and by putting them in the corn plants, the company has created tiny horticulture factories that make contraceptives. The company has also created antibodies against the herpes virus. Thus the company plans to make a plant based jelly that not only prevents pregnancy but also blocks the spread of sexual diseases. These antibodies act by getting attracted to the surface receptors on the sperm and make each sperm so heavy that it cannot move forward. It just shakes about. The company plans to launch clinical trails of the corm in a few months.
