Using Recombinant Chlamydia Major Outer Membrane Protein (MOMP) in ELISA Diagnostic Kit
Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the main causes of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) such as prostatitis and epididymitis in men and cervicitis, endometriosis, vaginitis and ureogenital tract infections in women. Serological tests with sensitivities related to specific antigens are commonly used as routine laboratory tests for diagnosis of Chlamydia. In this research the Chlamydia Major O...

background: chlamydia trachomatis is the most common sexually transmitted bacterial pathogen worldwide. early detection and treatment of c.trachomatis genital infection prevent serious reproductive complications.objective: performances of enzyme immunoassay (eia) and major outer membrane protein (momp)-polymerase chain reaction (pcr) for diagnosis of genital c.trachomatis infection in women wer...
متن کاملTopological analysis of Chlamydia trachomatis L2 outer membrane protein 2.
Using monospecific polyclonal antisera to different parts of Chlamydia trachomatis L2 outer membrane protein 2 (Omp2), we show that the protein is localized at the inner surface of the outer membrane. Omp2 becomes immunoaccessible when Chlamydia elementary bodies are treated with dithiothreitol, and protease digestions indicate that Omp2 has a possible two-domain structure.
متن کاملAntigenic analysis of the major outer membrane protein of Chlamydia trachomatis with murine monoclonal antibodies.
We prepared monoclonal antibodies against prototype strains of the 15 serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis and identified a subset of reagents that reacted with the major outer membrane protein(s) (MOMPs) of one or more serovars. We then determined the specificities of these anti-MOMP monoclonal antibodies by radioimmunoassay and immunoblot assays against the 15 serovars of C. trachomatis and a C....
متن کاملThe major outer membrane protein nucleotide sequence of Chlamydia trachomatis, serovar E.
The major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of C. trachomatis is surface exposed and accounts for 60% of the outer membrane protein of this widespread pathogen. This protein has been shown to contain conserved regions among the 15 serovars of C. trachomatis as well as variable domains (VD) that are partially responsible for antigenic differences among the serovars. In addition antibodies raised to ...
