Abstract
Using monospecific polyclonal antisera to different parts of Chlamydia trachomatis L2 outer membrane protein 2 (Omp2), we show that the prot ein is localized at the inner surface of the outer membrane. Omp2 beco mes immunoaccessible when Chlamydia elementary bodies are treated with dithiothreitol, and protease digestions indicate that Omp2 has a poss ible two-domain structure.
