Pilin gene variation inNeisseria gonorrhoeae: reassessing the old paradigms

23 Mar 2009

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae displays considerable potential for antigenic variation as shown in human experimental studies. Various surface antigens can change either by antigenic variation using RecA-dependent recombination schemes (e.g. PilE antigenic variation) or, alternatively, through phase variation (on/off switching) in a RecA-independent fashion (e.g. Opa and lipooligosaccharide phase variation). PilE...
