The kinetics of attachment and ingestion of Chlamydia trachomatis serotype L1 by monolayers of McCoy cells were studied by using a method that discriminated between attachment and uptake. When about 1% of the McCoy cells was infected, the proteinase K-resistant chlamydial fraction, regarded as
A procedure has been developed to yield infectious elementary bodies of the lymphogranuloma venereum strains LGV 434 and 404 of Chlamydia trachomatis, labelled during intracellular growth in HeLa 229 cells. The final preparation, obtained after velocity sedimentation of a polycarbonate
Monoclonal antibodies to outer membrane of Chlamydia trachomatis lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) strain L1 (440-L) were used for antigen characterization. Two separate type-specific antigenic determinants (epitopes) and one species-specific epitope were represented in the major outer-membrane protein
We have examined characteristics of the binding of eukaryotic cells to chlamydial elementary body (EB)-specific proteins. A wide variety of eukaryotic cell lines bound to representatives of both Chlamydia trachomatis lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) and trachoma biovars and a C. psittaci strain
Antigenic analysis of Chlamydia psittaci, C. trachomatis, and Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) revealed basic physicochemical differences among the three chlamydial strains. These were manifested in structural, isoelectric points, absorption spectra, and in the characteristics of the
