Sequence variation in class 1 outer membrane protein in Neisseria meningitidis isolated from patients with meningococcal infection and close household contacts.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 May 1995

Brooks J L, Fallon R J, Heckels J E

Abstract excerpt

The meningococcal porA gene encodes the class 1 outer membrane protein which contains the VR1 and VR2 regions responsible for sero-subtype specificity. However, sequence variations may occur within these regions which are not recognised by the currently available subtype antibodies. Since this "silent" microheterogeneity represents a potential hidden source of information, in the current study we have used porA...
