Analysis of Polymorphic Membrane Protein Expression in Cultured Cells Identifies PmpA and PmpH of Chlamydia psittaci as Candidate Factors in Pathogenesis and Immunity to Infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The polymorphic membrane protein (Pmp) paralogous families of Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia abortus are putative targets for Chlamydia vaccine development. To determine whether this is also the case for Pmp family members of C.

Surface properties of Chlamydia psittaci [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1980 The surface properties of elementary bodies of Chlamydia psittaci were investigated by diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex chromatography, cytophoresis, partitioning in an aqueous polymer two-phase system, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography of the organism. The surface of C. psittaci was found to be hydrophobic and negatively charged at pH 7 and to have
