Gonococcal opacity: lectin-like interactions between Opa proteins and lipooligosaccharide.

Infection and immunity - 1 Apr 1995

Blake M S, Blake C M, Apicella M A, Mandrell R E

Abstract excerpt

Previous evidence from our laboratory suggested that the tight intercellular adhesions between the outer membranes of gonococci displaying the opacity colony phenotype occurred because Opa proteins expressed on one gonococcus adhered to the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of the opposing bacterium (M.S. Blake, p. 51-66, in G. G. Jackson and H. Thomas, ed., The Pathogenesis of Bacterial Infections, 1985, and M. S. Blake...
