Abstract

Chlamydia trachomatis , a leading infectious cause of tubal infertility, induces upper genital tract pathology, such as hydrosalpinx, which can be modeled with Chlamydia muridarum infection in mice. Following C. muridarum inoculation, wild-type mice develop robust hydrosalpinx, but OT1 mice fail to do so because their T cell receptors are engineered to recognize a single ovalbumin epitope (OVA 457-462 ). These observations have demonstrated a critical role of Chlamydia -specific T cells in chlamydial pathogenicity.
