The lytic outcome of natural infection by Chlamydia trachomatis was exploited to select CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells, following chemical mutagenesis, that were deficient in their ability to sustain productive chlamydial infection. Four distinct mutant cell phenotypes with defects in either attachment or postattachment mechanisms that are required for infection by C. trachomatis and Chlamydia pneumoniae were characterized.
利用沙眼衣原体自然感染的裂解结果,在化学诱变后筛选出中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞,这些细胞在维持衣原体有效感染的能力方面存在缺陷。对四种不同的突变细胞表型进行了表征,这些表型在沙眼衣原体和肺炎衣原体感染所需的附着或附着后机制方面存在缺陷。
