<i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i>-Infected Patients Display Variable Antibody Profiles against the Nine-Member Polymorphic Membrane Protein Family
2 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Genomic analysis of the Chlamydiaceae has revealed a multigene family encoding large, putatively autotransported polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmps) with nine members in the sexually transmitted pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis. While various pathogenesis-related functions are emerging for the Pmps, observed genotypic and phenotypic variation among several chlamydial Pmps in various Chlamydia species has led us to...
