IFNγ and antibody synergize to enhance protective immunity against Chlamydia dissemination and female reproductive tract reinfections

J. I. Gann, P. A. Malaviarachchi, W. Du, M. A. B. Mercado, L.-X. Li

This study shows that IFNγ and B cells work together to prevent Chlamydia dissemination and reinfections, but other mechanisms also contribute to resistance in the female reproductive tract.
