The Anti-Chlamydia trachomatis ELISAs from ORENTEC Diagnostika are test systems for the specific and automated detection of human IgA, IgG, and IgM antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis. They can be used for the detection of acute, latent, or chronic infections with this bacterial pathogen and for determination of the immune status of the patient. The Anti-Chlamydia trachomatis IgG test is for detection of specific IgG antibodies. The sample material is human serum or plasma.

All ORGENTEC Anti-Chlamydia trachomatis ELISAs are coated with recombinant, type-specific antigens of the serotype-encompassing major outer membrane protein complex (MOMP) of Chlamydia trachomatis. In addition to it, two more recombinant antigens are used, TARP and CPAF, which are specific to Chlamydia trachomatis-specific antibodies. Thus, both test sensitivity and test specificity is raised compared to tests simply using MOMP antigens. 

Chlamydia trachomatis serovars D-K is one of the most common sexually transmitted disease-causing bacterial organism in the world. Likewise, lack of hygiene supports its spreading. Dependent on the serotype, Chlamydia trachomatis affects the mucous membrane of the genito-urinary tract, the respiratory tract, or the epithelium of the conjunctiva. Untreated, chronic chlamydiosis may cause infertility.
