In vitro susceptibility of human vascular wall cells to infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae
Open accessAbstract
Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common respiratory pathogen. Recent studies have demonstrated the presence of C. pneumoniae in coronary and aortic atherosclerotic lesions. To study the role of C. pneumoniae in atherosclerosis, we investigated the susceptibilities of three different cells of the human vascular wall to infection with C. pneumoniae AR-39. These cell types were endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages derived from peripheral blood monocytes. Infection was assessed by using a direct fluorescent antibody to assess inclusion counts. Duplicate cell samples were harvested 3 days postinfection and were passed in HL cells, a susceptible human epithelial cell line, to determine if infectious organisms were produced. Endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages were capable of supporting C. pneumoniae growth in vitro. These results showed that three different cell types known to be important in atherogenesis are susceptible to infection with C. pneumoniae.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
