Title: Differential neutralization of spontaneous and centrifuge-assisted chlamydial infectivity. Author: Ainsworth S, Allan I, Pearce JH. Journal: J Gen Microbiol; 1979 Sep; 114(1):61-7. PubMed ID: 521795. Abstract: Neutralization by specific antibody of a fast-killing variant strain of Chlamydia trachomatis, which showed high spontaneous infectivity for cell monolayers, was examined. It appeared that in spontaneous infection antibody-treated chlamydiae were neutralized by inhibition of attachment to cells. Centrifugation imposed a different effect: infection was inhibited at some step at or subsequent to attachment.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
