VACCINES FOR CHLAMYDIA Ghent University
B- and T cell epitopes were mapped of the Cp. psittaci 'major outer membrane protein' (MOMP). These B- and T-cell epitopes were used to create a Cp. psittaci subunit vaccine. Protection by use of the epitope-based vaccine was validated in pre-clinical trials in both specific pathogen free (SPF) turkeys and SPF chickens.
