Coincubation of Human Spermatozoa with Chlamydia trachomatis In Vitro Causes Increased Tyrosine Phosphorylation of Sperm Proteins
1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Elementary bodies (EBs) of the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis are responsible for the first step of attachment to host cells. We have studied the effects of EBs on human sperm protein tyrosine phosphorylation, which is important to sperm function. Indirect immunofluorescence using antiphosphotyrosine antibodies showed that serovar E, but not LGV, caused increased tyrosine phosphorylation...
