Purified Chlamydia trachomatis protein
Background:
Chlamydia trachomatis is a nonmotile gram negative intracellular bacterium, which has two forms during replication. The extracellular form, used in antigen preparations, is the elementary body. It has a diameter of 0.25 - 0.35 mm. The intracellular form is the reticulate or initial body which is 0.25 - 1 mm in diameter. Although Chlamydia trachomatis is antigenically complex only a few antigens are important in diagnostic testing including major outer membrane protein (MOMP) and a heat stable lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen.
