Chlamydophila pneumoniae, still commonly referred to as Chlamydia pneumoniae, was sequenced in 1999. Further sequencing of related species lead to the proposal of a new taxonomy for the Chlamydiaceae family. The result was the creation of the genus Chlamydophila alongside the genus Chlamydia. However, there remains some debate between chlamydiologists about the reclassification including a proposal to reunite the organisms under a single genus.
Other Information
Quality Assurance
Each antigen lot is tested for potency using ELISA, relative to a reference antigen. This ensures the amount of antigen in each batch is consistent. The total protein concentration reported includes both chlamydia and non-chlamydia proteins, with the ratio dependent on the purity of the antigen.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Microbix offer other types of Chlamydia?
Yes, we culture other species and serovars of Chlamydia on a custom basis. Please contact customer service if you have specific requirements.
2. Will EL-12-02 cross react with other Chlamydia species?
Yes. The genus Chlamydia comprises three species, C. trachomatis, C. muridarum, and C. suis. All share a common genus-specific lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen that is further shared by members of the genus Chlamydophila, in addition to crossreactive outer membrane protein antigens. Due to the presence of such common antigenic determinants, EL-12-02 will cross-react with other Chlamydiaceae species.
