Detection of Mycoplasma genitalium-reactive cervicovaginal antibodies among infected women

摘要

Mycoplasma genitalium-reactive cervicovaginal IgA and IgG antibodies were detected in 51.9% and 70.4% of 27 infected women and 22.2% and 18.5% of 27 uninfected controls, respectively. The predominance of MgpB-and MgpC-reactive antibodies at the site of infection is consistent with their hypothesized role in selecting antigenic variants during persistent infection.
