Abstract
The macaque model of chlamydial pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) demonstrates individual variability in the time of onset of intrapelvic adhesions. Some animals develop adhesions rapidly, within 2 weeks after a single tubal inoculation with Chlamydia trachomatis, while in others, adhesions are not observed until 2 weeks after a second tubal inoculation. To test whether this variability correlates with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I haplotype, we used macaque alloantisera and mouse anti-HLA monoclonal antibodies to determine the MHC class I haplotypes of 44 C. trachomatis-infected macaques (Macaca nemestrina). Macaques developing gross tubal adhesions after the first chlamydial inoculation were classified as susceptible (n = 29), while those not developing adhesions until after the second chlamydial inoculation were classified as relatively resistant (n = 15), to adhesion formation. Three antibody specificities correlated with susceptibility (odds ratio [OR] 5.2, P < 0.01; OR 6.1 and 4.3, P < 0.05), and two correlated with relative resistance to adhesions (OR 0.1, P < 0.05; OR 0.2, P < 0.01). Because several of these antibodies are cross-reactive, as many as five different MHC class I alleles (three increasing a...Continue Reading
