TL;DR: Protein-specific CT antibodies are not sufficient to protect against ascending or incident infection but broad recognition of CT proteins by IgG correlates with cervical CT gene transcript abundance, suggesting CT protein abundance correlates with immunogenicity and signifies their potential as vaccine candidates.
