ABSTRACT

One of the main characteristics of Chlamydia genus is to be intracellular pathogens that cause a great variety of disorders in animals and people in worldwide. The humoral immunity against intracellular microorganisms has been considered as an immune response not useful to eliminate these microorganisms. However, there are evidences about antibodies that can protect against several intracellular microorganisms or their products. Up to date the challenge is to identify antigens that could be useful for the development of antibodies and vaccines. The aim of this bibliographical revision is to know as the anti Chlamydia antibodies participate in the protection and diagnosis against the Chlamydial infections.
