| abstract |
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 CPN100634 (SEQ ID Nos: 1, 2 and 11), CPN100635 (SEQ ID Nos: 3, 4, 12 and 13), CPN100638 (SEQ ID Nos: 5, 6 and 14), CPN100639 (SEQ ID Nos: 7, 8 and 15), CPN100708 (SEQ ID Nos: 9, 10 and 16). |
