ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes of detection rates of IL-2,IL-6 and serum anti-Chlamydia immunodominant protein antibody in the patients with Chlamydia trachomatis genital tract infection.Methods Sixty women with genital tract infection (CT group) and 60 healthy women (control group) were selected in our hospital from January to May 2016.The serum levels of IL-2,IL-6 and anti-Chlamydia immunodominant protein and IL-2 and IL-6 levels in cervical secretions were detected in the two groups.Results The IL-2 and IL-6 levels of serum and cervical secretions in the CT group were significantly higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);the positive detection rates of serum OmcBc antibody,Pgp3 antibody,HSP60 antibody and CTT841 antibody in the CT group were 45.00%,75.00%,23.33% and 38.33% respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The positive detection rates of IL-2,IL-6 and serum anti-Chlamydia immunodominant protein antibody in the patients with genital tract Chlamydia infection are significantly increased,which has some guiding significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the antibodies against recombinant chlamydial plasmid-encoded protein 3(rPgp3),chlamydial protease-like activity factor(rCPAF),Ct143 encoded protein(rCT143), Ct101 encoded protein(rCT101),Ct694 encoded protein(rCT694),Ct813 encoded protein(rCT813), Chlamydia membrane protein A(rIncA),Ct875 encoded protein(rCT875),major outer membrane protein (rMOMP)and heat shock protein 60( rHsp60)in serum samples collected form patients with urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis(Ct)infection and to evaluate the antigenicity of those proteins. Methods The re-combinant plasmids expressing the 10 proteins and a blank plasmid were transformed into E. coli BL21 strains,respectively. The transformed E. coli BL21 strains were induced by isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyr-anoside(IPTG)to express recombinant proteins. The glutathione pre-coated 96-well ELISA plates were coa-ted with lysates. Serum samples were collected from 50 patients with Ct infection and 10 patients without Ct infection. ELISA was performed to detect the antibodies against 10 recombinant proteins. Results The anti-bodies against rPgp3,rCPAF,rCT143,rCT101,rCT694,rCT875,rCT813,rMOMP,rIncA and rHsp60 proteins were respectively detected in 44 cases(88% ),38 cases(76% ),37 cases(74% ),36 cases (72% ),33 cases(66% ),31 cases(62% ),30 cases(60% ),26 cases(52% ),24 cases(48% )and 17 cases(34% )out of 50 serum samples. No antibodies against 10 recombinant proteins were detected in the serum samples collected from patients without Ct infection. Conclusion The rPgp3 protein showed the strongest antigenicity among all of the studied proteins,followed by rCPAF and rCT143 proteins. The rHsp60 protein showed the lowest antigenicity.
