RESUMO

Unlike chlamydial lipopolysaccharide, which is released from the developing inclusion to the surface of infected genital epithelial cells, both Chlamydia trachomatis heat shock protein (hsp) 60 and 70 antigens remained confined within the inclusion during the course of the chlamydial developmental cycle. Exposure of the infected cells to penicillin to induce a persistent infection or to a lipophilic microbicide did not potentiate secretion or exocytosis of the chlamydial hsp.
