Using a proteomic approach and immunoblotting with human sera, we identified 31 major C. pneumoniae Ags originating from 27 different C. pneumoniae proteins. More than half of the proteins represent Chlamydia Ags not described previously. Using a comparative analysis of spot reactivity Pmp6, OMP2, GroEL, DnaK, RpoA, EF-Tu, as well as CpB0704 and CpB0837, were found to be immunodominant. The comparison of Ab-response patterns of sera from subjects with and without evidence for persisting C. pneumoniae, determined by multiple PCR analysis of PBMC and vasculatory samples, resulted in differential reactivity for 12 proteins, which is not reflected by reactivity of the sera in the microimmunofluorescence test, the current gold standard for serodiagnosis. Although reactivity of sera from PCR-positive donors was increased toward RpoA, MOMP, YscC, Pmp10, PorB, Pmp21, GroEL, and Cpaf, the reactivity toward YscL, Rho, LCrE, and CpB0837 was decreased, reflecting the altered protein expression of persisting C. pneumoniae in vitro. Our data provide the first evidence of a unique Ab-response pattern associated with persistent C. pneumoniae infections, which is a prerequisite for the serological determination of persistently infected patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.180.8.5490","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,18]],"date-time":"2014-04-18T18:52:42Z","timestamp":1397847162000},"page":"5490-5498","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Immunoproteomic Identification and Serological Responses to Novel\n                    <i>Chlamydia pneumoniae<\/i>\n                    Antigens That Are Associated with Persistent\n                    <i>C. pneumoniae<\/i>\n                    Infections"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"180","author":[{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Bunk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemical Pharmacology, University of Konstanz , Konstanz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iuliana","family":"Susnea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Analytical Chemistry, University of Konstanz , Konstanz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Rupp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, University of Luebeck , Luebeck ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James T","family":"Summersgill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, University of Louisville , Louisville, KY 40292"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Maass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medical Microbiology, Hygiene, and Infectious Diseases, Paracelsus Private Medical University and University Hospital Salzburg , Salzburg ,","place":["Austria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Werner","family":"Stegmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ProteoSys , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andre\u0301","family":"Schrattenholz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ProteoSys , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Albrecht","family":"Wendel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemical Pharmacology, University of Konstanz , Konstanz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Przybylski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Analytical Chemistry, University of Konstanz , Konstanz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Corinna","family":"Hermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemical Pharmacology, University of Konstanz , Konstanz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012809164516000_R1","first-page":"618","volume-title":"J.
