Roles of pilin and PilC in adhesion of Neisseria meningitidis to human epithelial and endothelial cells.

26 Apr 1994

Abstract excerpt

Pili and pilin antigenic variation play important roles in adhesion of Neisseria meningitidis (MC) to human epithelial and endothelial cells. We recently identified one pilin variant that confers high adhesiveness of MC to human epithelial cells in culture. However, other factor(s) also play a role in MC adhesiveness, since some nonadhesive variants of MC strain 8013 are piliated and produce the same pilin...
