Serotyping of Chlamydia: antibodies to lymphogranuloma venereum strains compared by microimmunofluorescence and neutralization tests.
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.
