In women evaluated for reinfection at a 3-month follow-up visit after treatment for chlamydia, the presence or magnitude of Chlamydia trachomatis-specific CD8 interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) responses to Momp and Pgp3 peptide pools was not associated with reinfection status, despite having an increased frequency of responses compared to C. trachomatis CD4-specific T cells. This evidence concerns the gene IFNG and chlamydia trachomatis infectious disease.
