Abstract excerpt
The lytic outcome of natural infection by Chlamydia trachomatis was exploited to select CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells, following chemical mutagenesis, that were deficient in their ability to sustain productive chlamydial infection. Four distinct mutant cell phenotypes with defects in either attachment or postattachment mechanisms that are required for infection by C. trachomatis and Chlamydia pneumoniae were...
