Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that the high-mannose oligosaccharide N linked to the Chlamydia major outer membrane protein inhibited the attachment and infectivity of the organism. The present study showed that cleavage of the glycan with N-glycanase decreased the attachment and infectivity of chlamydial organisms in human epithelial and endothelial cells.Keywords
