title: Serotyping of Chlamydia: antibodies to lymphogranuloma venereum strains compared by microimmunofluorescence and neutralization tests.
abstract: The microimmunofluorescence test with hyperimmune rooster sera against lymphogranuloma venereum strains gave the same serotype patterns obtained in the standard mouse serum system. Results in a plaque reduction test appeared similar when only 3 prototype strains were tested, but differed when a battery of 11 strains were tested.
