Chlamydia trachomatis is a major cause of ocular and genital tract infections of humans.
These infections generally resolve without adverse sequelae, but occasionally severe …

Ocular and urogenital tract infections with Chlamydia trachomatis can progress to chronic
inflammatory diseases that produce blindness and tubal infertility. The pathophysiology of …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) of most pathogens, including Chlamydia, are major immune
targets of both humoral‐and cell‐mediated immune mechanisms. During the last decade …

The immunopathologic sequelae of chlamydial infection are correlated with immune
responses to the Chlamydia trachomatis heat shock protein 60 (hsp60). One pathogenic …

The effects of both H-2 and non-H-2 genes on antibody responses to two Chlamydia
trachomatis heat shock proteins (hsp60 and hsp70) were investigated. These chlamydial …

We isolated and sequenced the gene for the chlamydial heat shock protein 60 (HSP-60)
from a Chlamydia trachomatis genomic library by molecular genetic methods. The DNA …

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that infects chiefly urogenital
and ocular epithelial cells. In some infected women the microorganism migrates to the upper …

Two chlamydial proteins (HSP-60 and HSP-70) have marked homology with bacterial and
mammalian heat shock proteins. Previous studies have indicated that when inoculated into …

Most of the studies on 60-kDa and 10-kDa chlamydial heat shock proteins (HSPs) to date
have been carried out with blood lymphocytes or serum antibody responses, which do not …

The mucosal pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis affects hundreds of millions of people
worldwide and is a significant cause of sexually transmitted disease. Although most acute …
