Inhibitory effect on the formation of chlamydial inclusions in McCoy cells by seminal fluid and some of its components.

P A Mårdh, S Colleen, J Sylwan.   

Abstract

Our purpose was to determine the effect of semen and some of its components upon chlamydial inclusion (CI) count and cytopathogenic effect in cycloheximide-treated McCoy cells. Semen and spermine caused a dose-related decrease in the number of CI, using a standardized infectious dose of Chlamydia trachomatis, immunotype F. Lysozyme in certain concentrations stimulated CI formation, whereas the cations Cu++ and Zn++ produced a cytopathogenic effect and a dose-related reduction of the CI count, EDTA neutralized the effects of the cations and its addition to seminal fluid experimentally infected with C. trachomatis resulted in a greater number of CI than found in control cultures containing only semen.
