Figure 2

The effect of preabsorption with chlamydial antigens on human antibody reactivity with the fusion proteins. The pooled positive human serum from 15 patients was absorbed with or without HeLa alone or serovar D-infected HeLa cell lysates (as indicated along the right side of the figure) prior to reacting with the fusion proteins listed in the bottom of the figure in ELISA. The pooled positive serum reactivity with chlamydial fusion proteins was completely blocked by the absorption with the C. trachomatis-infected HeLa cell lysates (panel c) but not HeLa alone lysates (panel b).
