Surface antigens of Chlamydia trachomatis were studied by immunogold staining with monoclonal antibodies and by electron microscopy. The serovar- and subspecies-specific epitopes were the most surface accessible. The species- and genus-specific epitopes were the least surface exposed. Similar serological specificity as that in the microimmunofluorescence test was demonstrated by immunogold staining.
采用单克隆抗体免疫金染色及电子显微镜技术对沙眼衣原体的表面抗原进行了研究。血清型和亚种特异性表位最易暴露于表面。种属特异性表位最不易暴露于表面。免疫金染色显示出与微量免疫荧光试验相似的血清学特异性。
