Abstract

Monovalent Fab antibodies to serovar- and subspecies-specific epitopes of the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydia trachomatis neutralized infectivity for hamster kidney cells by preventing chlamydial attachment. These findings exclude the aggregation of chlamydiae as a mechanism of anti-MOMP neutralization and provide additional evidence in support of the MOMP as a chlamydial adhesin.
