Genetic diversity of Collaborative Cross mice enables the establishment of a novel Chlamydia muridarum female genital tract infection model

Toni L. Darville, Jenna Girardi, Taylor B. Poston, Camille Campbell, Xuejun Sun, Yajing B. Hao, Y J Zhang, Chuwen Liu, Bryce Duncan, Fei Zou, Catherine M. O’Connell, Xiaojing Zheng

This study uses Collaborative Cross mice to identify host genetic factors influencing Chlamydia muridarum infection outcomes, revealing distinct genetic pathways for bacterial burden and pathology.

Intranasal immunization with CPAF combined with cyclic-di-AMP induces a memory CD4 T cell response and reduces bacterial burden following intravaginal infection with Chlamydia muridarum

Taylor B. Poston, Jenna Girardi, Marie Kim, Peter Zwarycz, A Grace Polson, Kacy S. Yount, Courtne Hanlan, Ian Jaras Salas, Sarah Mae Lammert, Daisy Arroyo, Tony Bruno, Manhong Wu, James Rozzelle, Jeff Fairman, Aaron Palmer Esser-Kahn, Toni L. Darville

This study shows that intranasal immunization with CPAF and cyclic-di-AMP reduces bacterial burden in mice infected with Chlamydia muridarum by inducing memory CD4 T cell responses.
