Immunochemical Investigations of Cell Surface Antigens of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhea.

Abstract

Cell surface antigens of N. gonorhoeae and N. meningitidis were isolated and purified. Antisera to these antigens were produced in rabbits and used to examine their species specifically. The cell mediated immune response in patients with clinical gonococcal infections were examined using these antigens. It was found that such patients have leukocyte transformation responses to both gonococcal and meningiococcal antigens. Responses in female patients were found to be much greater than that of male patients. (Author)
