Evidence for functionally distinct pili expressed by Neisseria meningitidis.

Infection and immunity - 1 Sept 1991

Pinner R W, Spellman P A, Stephens D S

Abstract excerpt

In order to investigate possible functional consequences of phase and antigenic variation of meningococci, the attachment of 15 strains of Neisseria meningitidis to human erythrocytes was studied by a nitrocellulose hemadsorption assay. This assay allows the study of individual meningococcal colonies with respect to erythrocyte attachment. Of the 15 strains studied, 7 demonstrated binding of human erythrocytes...
