Induction of protective immunity against Chlamydia muridarum intravaginal infection with a chlamydial glycogen phosphorylase.

We evaluated 7 C. muridarum ORFs for their ability to induce protection against chlamydial infection in a mouse intravaginal infection model. These antigens, although encoded in C. muridarum genome, are transcriptionally regulated by a cryptic plasmid that is known to contribute to C. muridarum path...
