PROBE AND PRIMER FOR MEASURING CHLAMYDIA PNEUMONIAE GENE, MEASUREMENT OF CHLAMYDIA PNEUMONIAE GENE USING THE SAME PROBE OR PRIMER AND REAGENT FOR MEASURING CHLAMYDIA PENUMONIAE GENE CONTAINING THE SAME PROBE OR PRIMER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a DNA, having a base sequence of an antigenic polypeptide gene of 53kDa of Chlamydia pneumoniae or a base sequence complementary thereto and useful for diagnosis, etc., of the infection with the Chlamydia pneumoniae. ;SOLUTION: This DNA is obtained from a genomic DNA of Chlamydia pneumoniae, capable of decoding and analyzing the base sequence and has a base sequence of the formula which is a gene of an antigenic polypeptide of 53 kDa of the Chlamydia pneumoniae or a DNA having a base sequence complementary thereto. The DNAs are specific for the Chlamydia pneumoniae and may be a DNA having ≥90% homology with the base sequence of the DNAs. Any of the DNAs can readily be synthesized with a commercially available DNA syntheslzer.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1997,JPO
