  • Title: Molecular mimicry and Chlamydia trachomatis infection of eukaryotic cells.
    Author: Stephens RS.
    Journal: Trends Microbiol; 1994 Mar; 2(3):99-101. PubMed ID: 8156278.
    Abstract:
    A new experimental model for microbe-host-cell interaction is proposed in which a molecular mimic of heparan sulfate is used by Chlamydia to attach to the mammalian cell surface. A heparan-sulfate-like ligand, bound to the surface of Chlamydia, mediates infectivity by bridging the microorganism and mammalian cell receptors.
