Trachoma and sexually transmitted diseases caused by Chlamydia trachomatis are major health problems worldwide. Epitopes from the variable domains of the major outer membrane protein are candidates for vaccine development. We have constructed hybrid polioviruses expressing sequences from major outer membrane protein variable domains I and IV. Antisera to the hybrids could, in combination, strongly neutralize 8 of the 12 C. trachomatis serovars most commonly associated with oculogenital infections and weakly neutralize the others.
沙眼和由沙眼衣原体引起的性传播疾病是全球主要的健康问题。主要外膜蛋白可变区的表位是疫苗开发的候选对象。我们构建了表达主要外膜蛋白可变区I和IV序列的杂交脊髓灰质炎病毒。针对这些杂交病毒的抗血清联合起来能够强力中和12种最常与眼生殖系统感染相关的沙眼衣原体血清型中的8种,并能微弱中和其他血清型。
