Analysis of Pilin Antigenic Variation in Neisseria meningitidis by Next-Generation Sequencing.

Journal of bacteriology - 15 Nov 2018

Xu Jing, Seifert H Steven

Abstract excerpt

Many pathogenic microbes evade host immune surveillance by varying the surface antigens, a process termed antigenic variation. While the process of pilin antigenic variation has been extensively studied in the human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococcus [Gc]), relatively few studies of pilin antigenic variation have been conducted with Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus [Mc]). Mc is usually a commensal...
