| Research Abstract |
We established tubal factor infertility model mouse by chlamydia trachomatis infection, and recognized with the rise of anti-chlamydial heat shock protein 60(cHSP60) antibody titer and also with the rise of anti-Ct antibody titer.
Moreover, we tried the secondary infection supposing a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction in order to produce a more advanced damage infertility model mouse.
As a result, by the secondary infection model, since more advanced tubal damage was accepted and it went up to also about anti-Ct antibody titer and anti-cHSP60 antibody titer as compared with the group of only initial infection.
Thus, cHSP60 may be mainly involved in the delayed hypersensitive response resulting in tubal damage
