The present invention provides purified and isolated polynucleotide molecules that encode Chlamydia polypeptides which can be used in methods to prevent, treat, and diagnose Chlamydia infection. In one form of the invention, the polynucleotide molecules are selected from DNA that encode polypeptides CPN100397 (SEQ ID Nos: 1 and 2), CPN100421 (SEQ ID Nos: 3 and 4), CPN100422 (SEQ ID Nos: 4 and 6), CPN100424 (SEQ ID Nos: 7 and 8), CPN100426 (SEQ ID Nos: 9 and 10), CPN100508 (SEQ ID Nos: 11 and 12), CPN100515 (SEQ ID Nos: 13 and 14), CPN100538 (SEQ ID Nos: 15 and 16), CPN100557 (SEQ ID Nos: 17 and 18), CPN100622 (SEQ ID Nos: 19 and 20), CPN100626 (SEQ ID Nos: 21 and 22), CPN100628 (SEQ ID Nos: 23 and 24) and CPN100630 (SEQ ID Nos: 25 and 26). |
