Antibodies to the Chlamydial 60 Kilodalton Heat Shock Protein in Women With Tubal Factor Infertility

Antibodies to the Chlamydial 60 Kilodalton Heat Shock Protein in Women With Tubal Factor Infertility

Introduction: Fallopian tube damage and subsequent infertility are common sequelae of upper genital tract infection with Chlamydia trachomatis. This fallopian tube damage is thought to be immune mediated. The 60 kilodalton chlamydial heat shock protein (hsp) may be the key antigen associated with th...
