Research Abstract |
To identify novel specific antigens from Chlamydophila pneumoniae, we screened 455 genes with unknown function in the genome of C. pneumoniae J138 by using serum samples from C. pneumoniae-infected patients. From this comprehensive analysis, 58 clones were identified as antigens. These results have provided useful information for the development of new serological tools for the diagnosis for C. pneumoniae infections and for the development of vaccines in future.
