Chlamydia W3-W6

Genetic variation is crucial for the long-term survival of bacteria. In the case of Chlamydia trachomatis, mutation and recombination are the fundamental processes by which genetic variation emerges. Recombination involves the incorporation of imported DNA into the genome, leading to the introduction of novel sequences and the creation of loci with mosaic genes. This process plays a significant role in the potential for adaptation of a bacterial population .

The W3-W6 recombinant protein of Chlamydia trachomatis is a specific segment of the bacterium’s protein structure. This recombinant protein is typically produced using Escherichia coli as a host for expression. The W3-W6 protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to achieve a purity level of over 95%, as determined by PAGE (Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis) and RP-HPLC (Reverse Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) .

The recombinant W3-W6 protein is immunoreactive with sera from individuals infected with Chlamydia trachomatis. This makes it highly valuable for use in immunization protocols and generating antibodies that specifically target the protein of interest. The high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of this recombinant protein make it ideal for various research and diagnostic applications .
