متن کاملT Cell Responses in the Absence of IFN-! Exacerbate Uterine Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis
Infection with the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is controlled primarily by IFN-! and Th1 immunity. In this study, we used cells from a Chlamydia-specific CD4 TCR-transgenic mouse to assess the role of IFN-! in development of Th1 immunity. We show that secretion of host IFN-! or the ability of host cells to respond to secreted IFN-! is not required to initiate a Th1 imm...
متن کاملNK T cell activation promotes Chlamydia trachomatis infection in vivo.
We used two approaches to examine the role of NK T cells (NKT) in an intracellular bacterial (Chlamydia trachomatis mouse pneumonitis (C. muridarum)) infection. One is to use CD1 gene knockout (KO) mice, which lack NKT, and the other is to activate NKT using alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer), a natural ligand of these cells. The data showed a promoting effect of NKT activation on Chlamydi...
متن کاملChlamydia trachomatis infection in chronically hemodialyzed patients.
PURPOSE In the general population there is association between Chlamydia trachomatis (Ch. trachomatis) infection and reactive arthritis (RA). RA is a systemic illness characterized by inflammatory synovitis. Arthritis tends to be oligoarticular and involves mainly the lower limbs. The aim of this study is to assess the age and sex specific prevalence of Ch. trachomatis infection in dialysis pop...
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...
