Serum IgG1 and IgG3 Antibody Responses to <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> Pgp3 and Hsp60 in Tubal Factor Infertility
Pgp3 IgG1 antibody was a sensitive marker for detecting C. trachomatis-related TFI, while Hsp60 IgG3 antibody was highly specific. These findings suggest that Pgp3 and Hsp60 antibodies and antibody subclass testing may be useful diagnostic tools for assessing TFI.
