Abstract
⺠We designed a Chlamydia trachomatis MOMP chimera containing major antigenic epitopes. ⺠The chimera was successfully produced in Escherichia coli, carrot, and Arabidopsis thaliana. ⺠Arabidopsis plants stably express the MOMP chimera over at least six generations. ⺠Purified MOMP chimera retained antigenicity when injected into rabbits. ⺠Anti-MOMP chimera antibodies were reactive against C. trachomatis elementary bodies.
