Previous studies determined that the Chlamydia glycan contains a high-mannose oligosaccharide, which is involved in attachment and infectivity of the organism, and that removal of the glycan decreases infectivity in vitro. The present study demonstrates that treatment of the organism with N-glycanase decreases or ablates infectivity in vivo.
先前的研究确定,衣原体聚糖含有一种高甘露糖寡糖,它参与该生物体的附着和感染性,并且去除聚糖会降低体外感染性。本研究表明,用N-聚糖酶处理该生物体可降低或消除其体内感染性。
