Monoclonal antibodies against pigeon and budgerigar strains of Chlamydia psittaci were used to classify the immunotypes of C. psittaci strains by an indirect immunofluorescence antibody (IFA) test. Thirty-three C. psittaci strains from pigeons and 24 from budgerigars were divided into three immunotypes (P-I, P-II, and P-III) and (B-I, B-II, and B-III), respectively. Two strains from human psittacosis patients were identified as P-III and B-I, coinciding with the epidemiological evidence of each human infection. Two strains from psittacine birds, a parrot and a parakeet, were identical to the B-II immunotype. Other mammalian strains were quite distinct from avian strains in their IFA reaction with the monoclonal antibodies.
利用针对鹦鹉热衣原体鸽子株和虎皮鹦鹉株的单克隆抗体，通过间接免疫荧光抗体（IFA）试验对鹦鹉热衣原体菌株的免疫型进行分类。来自鸽子的33株鹦鹉热衣原体菌株和来自虎皮鹦鹉的24株菌株分别被分为三种免疫型（P-I、P-II和P-III）以及（B-I、B-II和B-III）。两例来自人类鹦鹉热患者的菌株被鉴定为P-III和B-I，这与每个人类感染的流行病学证据相符。来自鹦鹉科鸟类（一只鹦鹉和一只长尾小鹦鹉）的两株菌株与B-II免疫型相同。其他哺乳动物菌株在与单克隆抗体的IFA反应中与禽类菌株有很大不同。
