AUTOMATED DETERMINATION OF CHLAMYDIA INFECTION-FORMING UNITS

摘要

The present features an automated method of measuring Chlamydia infection forming units. The method employs a polypeptide recognizing Chlamydia infected inclusion body components. The polypeptide specifically binds to either, or both, a Chlamydia elementary body or reticulate body. Polypeptide binding is detected using a colorimetric indicator and an automated detector.
