Synthetic peptides and murine monoclonal antibodies were used to map cross-reactive chlamydial epitopes. A species-specific epitope in the central region of variable sequence region 4 abuts the amino-terminal end of a B-serogroup-specific or F/G-serogroup-specific epitope, which in turn abuts known serovar-specific epitopes. The carboxyl-terminal portion of variable sequence region 4 (residues 297 to 314) comprises a region of end-to-end B-cell epitopes in some serovars of the B and F/G serogroups.
合成肽和鼠单克隆抗体被用于绘制交叉反应性衣原体表位图谱。可变序列区域4中心区域的一个种特异性表位紧邻B血清群特异性或F/G血清群特异性表位的氨基末端,而该表位又紧邻已知的血清型特异性表位。可变序列区域4的羧基末端部分(第297至314位氨基酸残基)在B和F/G血清群的一些血清型中包含一个首尾相连的B细胞表位区域。
