Abstract:
An isolated polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide from a strain of Chlamydia, selected from the group consisting of:(a) a polynucleotide comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; and (b) a polynucleotide which hybridizes under stringent hybridizing conditions of 6Ã—SSC containing 50% formamide at 42Â° C. with a polynucleotide that has a complementary sequence to the full length of: SEQ ID NO: 1, the coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or the open reading frame(s) of SEQ ID NO: 1; wherein said isolated polynucleotide, when administered in an immunogenically-effective amount to a mammal, induces an immune response by said mammal against Chlamydia.
