Abstract excerpt
In an attempt to gain more knowledge about the immunogenicity of the variable domains (VDs) of the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydia pneumoniae, peptides representing these areas were used to immunize BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Antisera to the peptides and to peptides conjugated to k...
