Heat Shock Protein 60 Is the Major Antigen Which Stimulates Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity Reaction in the Macaque Model of Chlamydia trachomatis Salpingitis

ABSTRACT Chlamydial delayed-type hypersensitivity antigens were analyzed by using the subcutaneous salpingeal autotransplant model of Macaca nemestrina infected with Chlamydia trachomatis serovar E. Heat shock protein 60 was the only antigen shown to induce delayed-type hypersensitivity among other antigens tested, including UV-inactivated organisms, recombinant major outer membrane protein, purified outer membrane proteins, and heat shock protein 10.
