  • Immunoassays for detecting chlamydial antigens or antibodies thereto using recombinant or synthetic major outer membrane protein polypeptides as substitute antigens
    Patent number: 6030799
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the production of a polypeptide which is immunologically cross-reactive with a naturally-occurring major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydia trachomatis. A DNA construct including a replication system recognized by E. coli, and an MOMP gene under the transcriptional control of a .beta.-glactosidase promoter and terminator is provided. Recombinant phage .lambda.gtll/L2/33 was deposited at the American Type Culture Collection, 12301 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, Md. 20852, on Jan. 10, 1985 and granted accession no. 40157. L2 B9-F DNA was deposited at the American Type Culture Collection on Dec. 31, 1985, and granted accession No. 40217.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 1995
    Date of Patent: February 29, 2000
