Abstract excerpt
The lipopolysaccharides of enteric gram-negative bacteria and the lipooligosaccharides (LOS) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae may share antigenic determinants that are targets of bactericidal antibody. Natural (disseminated) infection with a serum-resistant gonococcal strain and immunization with Escherichia coli J5 stimulated bactericidal IgG anti-LOS antibodies that recognize different serum-resistant gonococcal LOS...
