1a. Agarose gel electrophoresis of PCR products (first stage, lanes 2–6; second stage, lanes 8–12). Lanes 2 and 3 using genomic DNA as a template from two Apobtm2SgyLdlrtm1Her/J mice infected with Cpn bacteria; lanes 5 and 6 using genomic DNA from two non-infected Apobtm2SgyLdlrtm1Her/J mice; lanes 8, 9, 11 and 12 using first-stage PCR products 2, 3, 5 and 6 as a template, respectively. Lanes 1 and 7 show the Phi174 DNA/HaeIII maker (Promega). 1b. Chlamydia LPS antibody (MCA 2718, Bio-Rad) stained lesion sites in aortic sinus. Chlamydia LPS antibody (MCA 2718, Bio-Rad) was used as the first antibody (10 mg/ml), anti-mouse IgG-FITC, developed in sheep, was used as a second antibody. Green represents Chlamydia LPS and blue represents cell nuclei stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Vector Lab, Peterborogh, UK) [N = 6 mice].

Mouse anti Chlamydia LPS antibody, clone CF 6J12 recognizes a genus specific epitope within Chlamydia lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
LPS is a common feature of the outer envelope of gram negative bacteria, which acts as a potent endotoxin, triggering an innate immune response. Studies have shown however, that whilst the LPS of Chlamydia trachomatis does evoke an immune response, it displays only weak endotoxic activity when compared to that of other bacteria such as Salmonella minnesota or Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
