Figure 12. Detection of Chlamydia Specific IgE.

Figure 12

Western Blot analysis revealed the presence of Chlamydia-specific IgE antibodies in the BAL fluid of infected neonatal groups only. Antibodies appeared as early as 28 days post infection and were still detectable 66 days post infection. Chlamydia-specific IgE antibodies appear to have been generated against a variety of chlamydial antigen representing a total of approximately 6 proteins. All proteins that induced IgE were either secreted or surface exposed.
