  • Biochip, and method for the selective identification of infections
    Patent number: 8455210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the selective identification of Chlamydia trachomatis infections wherein the antigens CT017, CT098, CT318-L1 P, CT431-TARP, CT603-TSAP, and CT664 are used for the specific identification of Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies in samples from mammals. The method according to the invention facilitates the selective identification method of identification of Chlamydia trachomatis infections, in which no false positive results are generated by other Chlamydia species such as, for example, Chlamydia pneumoniae. The invention further relates to a biochip which has the aforementioned Chlamydia trachomatis-specific antigens for the identification of antibodies. The biochip with antigens according to the invention is suitable for multiparameter identification methods in particular.
