Class specific immunoglobulin response to individual polypeptides of Chlamydia trachomatis, elementary bodies, and reticulate bodies in patients with chlamydial infection.
Sera from 10 women with Chlamydia trachomatis culture positive cervicitis and sera from six men with C trachomatis positive non-gonococcal urethritis were studied for the presence of IgG, IgM, and IgA antibodies to polypeptides of C trachomatis elementary bodies and reticulate bodies using immunoblotting techniques. All the sera with IgG, IgM, or IgA immunoglobulins specific to C trachomatis re...
متن کاملChlamydia trachomatis Serology in Women with and without Ovarian Cancer
Pelvic inflammation has been implicated in the genesis of ovarian cancer. We conducted serologic measurements of Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies as a surrogate marker of chlamydial pelvic inflammatory disease. Women with ovarian cancer (n = 521) and population-based controls (n = 766) were tested. IgG antibodies to serovar D of chlamydia elementary bodies (EBs) were detected using an ELISA ass...
متن کاملELISA Serology for Antibodies Against Chlamydia trachomatis in Crohn’s Disease
Background Recently we reported IgA anti-Chlamydia antibodies in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), in particular in four patients from a single family of six with CD. Methods We studied sera from four cohorts from the north of France. These were identified as: EPIMAD (80 pediatric onset CD and 20 pediatric onset ulcerative colitis), MINOTOR (148 adult onset sporadic CD and 50 adult onset ul...
متن کاملPrevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis Antigen and Antibody in Infertile Women in Ahwaz
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium which causes a wide variety of human infections such as ocular, urogenital and respiratory infections. Genital infections of women, espe-cially when repeated, give rise to many complications such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and infertility. Since chlamydial infections are usually asymptomatic, they progress unnoticed and produc...
متن کاملSimplified microimmunofluorescence test with trachoma-lymphogranuloma venereum (Chlamydia trachomatis) antigens for use as a screening test for antibody.
A simplified microimmunofluorescence test with trachoma-lymphogranuloma venereum (Chlamydia trachomatis) antigens has been devised as a screening test for antibody in human sera. The test differs from our standard procedure by amalgamating 15 different immunotypes into nine antigen pools, by using only three serum dilutions, and by dropping use of duplicate slides. The screening test could be p...
