Chlamydia protein molecular weight frequency trends in Serum. Unlike the BAL fluid proteins in Figure 2, serum IgE antibodies against MOMP only appeared in 5% of the patients tested, while the other 5 antigens appeared at similar frequency to that of the BAL (Chart A). Closer analysis shows that while serum IgE antibodies recognized C. pneumoniae LPS in 42% of positive samples (Chart B), no C. trachomatis LPS was recognized by these samples (Chart C). Although MOMP is the major antigen on the chlamydial EB surface, C. pneumoniae MOMP did not induce serum IgE production in this study.
