Serological Diagnosis of Gonorrhea.
Abstract
The further testing and refinement of a radioimmunoassay for detecting antibodies to Neisseria gonorrhoea in human sera is described. Both 14-C-labeled and 125-I-labeled gonococcal antigens were used. Correct diagnosis of the patients histories were made, from the radioimmunoassay results, in 90% of the cases. The reactive antigenic component of the gonococcal extracts used in the assay has been characterized as a glycoprotein with a particle weight of 20,000 daltons or greater.
