ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides vaccines and methods for immunizing a host, including humans, against disease caused by infection by a strain ofChlamydia, specificallyC. pneumoniae. The vaccine and method employ an OMP (outer membrane protein) of a strain ofChlamydia pneumoniae. Modifications are possible within the scope of this invention.
