Inverse relationship between pilus-mediated gonococcal adherence and surface expression of the pilus receptor, CD46

1 Aug 2001

Abstract excerpt

Pilus-mediated adherence to mucosal epithelial cells is a critical step for Neisseria gonorrhoeae to establish an infection in the human host. CD46, the defined receptor for the gonococcal pilus, is a complement-regulatory protein that is expressed on all human nucleated cells. It was observed that a piliated, Opa(-) variant of gonococcal strain FA1090 adhered with different efficiencies to the human epithelial...
