We have grown underdoped (x = 0.11, 0.12) and optimally doped (x = 0.16) La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) crystals by traveling-solvent floating-zone (TSFZ) technique. In order to obtain LSCO single crystals of...
Chlamydia trachomatis Serology in Women with and without Ovarian Cancer (2008)
Roberta B. Ness, Caixia Shen, Debra Bass, Carlynn Jackson, Kristen Moysich, Robert Edwards, ...
Pelvic inflammation has been implicated in the genesis of ovarian cancer. We conducted serologic measurements of Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies as a surrogate marker of chlamydial pelvic...

We previously reported that DNA vaccination was able to elicit cellular immune responses and partial protection against Chlamydia trachomatis infection. However, DNA immunization alone did not...
Molecular Detection and Seroepidemiology of the Chlamydia pneumoniae Bacteriophage (ΦCpn1)
Karunakaran, Karuna P., Blanchard, James F., Raudonikiene, Ausra, Shen, Caixia, Murdin, Andrew D., Brunham, Robert C.
Recent whole-genome analysis has demonstrated limited genetic variation in Chlamydia pneumoniae, with one strain (AR39) containing a 4,524 nucleotide single-stranded DNA bacteriophage, ΦCpn1. Using...
Molecular Analysis of the Multiple GroEL Proteins of Chlamydiae
Karunakaran, Karuna P., Noguchi, Yasuyuki, Read, Timothy D., Cherkasov, Artem, Kwee, Jeffrey, Shen, Caixia, ...
Genome sequencing revealed that all six chlamydiae genomes contain three groEL-like genes (groEL1, groEL2, and groEL3). Phylogenetic analysis of groEL1, groEL2, and groEL3 indicates that these genes...

The intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis is a major cause of sexually transmitted disease worldwide. While protective immunity does appear to develop following natural chlamydial...

Survival of Chlamydia muridarum within Dendritic Cells▿
Rey-Ladino, Jose, Jiang, Xiaozhou, Gabel, Brent R., Shen, Caixia, Brunham, Robert C.
Immune responses to Chlamydia trachomatis underlay both immunity and immunopathology. Immunopathology in turn has been attributed to chronic persistent infection with persistence being defined as the...
Chlamydial bacteriophage: No role in acute coronary events?
Patrick, David M, Karunakaran, Karuna, Levy, Adrian R, Gin, Kenneth, Remple, Valencia, Chong, Mei, ...
Zaharik, Michelle L, Nayar, Tarun, White, Rick, Ma, Caixia, Vallance, Bruce A, Straka, Nadine, ...
Chlamydia trachomatis is a major cause of sexually transmitted disease worldwide for which an effective vaccine is being actively pursued. Current vaccine efforts will be aided by elucidating the...

Dendritic cells (DCs) appear to orchestrate much of the immunobiology of Chlamydia infection, but most studies of Chlamydia-DC interaction have been limited by the availability and heterogeneity of...
