METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS.FOR DETECTING CHLAMYDIAL PROTEINS

摘要

The present invention provides a method of diagnosing a Chlamydia infection in a subject, comprising contacting a sample from the subject with a substrate of chlamydial protease/proteasome-like activity factor (CPAF) under conditions whereby cleavage of the substrate can occur; and b) detecting cleavage of the substrate, thereby diagnosing a Chlamydia infection in the subject.
