| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we tried to establish novel gene transfer system using a chlamydia phage phiCPAR39, which can infect Chlamydia pneumoniae. Chromosome of the chlamydia phage phiCPAR39, was cloned and utilized to construct a shuttle vector which can be replicated in both Chlamydia pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. To establish E. coli strain which produce recombinant chlamydia phage, expression of essential chlamydia phage proteins in E. coli cells were indispensable. However, expression of some of the chlamydia phage proteins were not confirmed. Consequently, E. coli strain, which would be utilized for production of the recombinant chlamydia phage, was not established.
