Seropositivity for the human heat shock protein (Hsp)60 accompanying seropositivity for Chlamydia trachomatis is less prevalent among tubal ectopic pregnancy cases than individuals with normal reproductive history
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology Mar 09, 2018
Ozyurek ES, et al. - Researchers aimed at determining the role of anti-human heat shock protein 60 (hHsp60) antibody positivity in the pathogenesis of ectopic pregnancy, following Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection. In CT IgG(+) ectopic pregnancies, immunity to hHsp60 was less common compared to CT IgG(+) fertile subjects without a history of ectopic pregnancies. Findings thereby suggested that hHsp60 seropositivity could reduce the probability of an ectopic gestation in subjects with previous CT infections.
