Chlamydia trachomatis genomic sequence and polypeptides, fragments thereof and uses thereof, in particular for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of infection

摘要

The present invention relates to an isolated polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence of an open reading frame (ORF) of a Chlamydia trachomatis genome, comprising:
(a) the nucleotide sequence of ORF508;
(b) a nucleotide sequence exhibiting at least 99. 9% identity with ORF508 ; or
(c) a nucleotide sequence exhibiting at least 80% homology to ORF508; or
(d) a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes to ORF508 under conditions of high stringency
(e) a fragment of any one of (a) to (d) which is greater than 20 nucleotides in length.
