| Abstract: | Chlamydia infections constitute a major public health problem. Although multiple arms of the immune system participate in the control of Chlamydia in infected hosts, T lymphocytes are essential. This review focuses on the roles that CD8(+)T cells may play in immunoprotection and immunopathology following recognition of Chlamydia-infected cells. |
