Monoclonal antibody typing of Chlamydia psittaci strains derived from avian and mammalian species.

Department of Veterinary Microbiology, Faculty of Agriculture, Gifu University, Japan.

ABSTRACT

A total of 77 Chlamydia psittaci strains of avian, human, and mammalian origin were grouped into four serovars with 11 monoclonal antibodies recognizing the lipopolysaccharide and the major outer membrane protein antigens. The avian and human strains, which were closely related to each other, were distinct from the mammalian strains. Immunological typing of C. psittaci with monoclonal antibodies seems practical.
