Several Carcinoembryonic Antigens (CD66) Serve as Receptors for Gonococcal Opacity Proteins

5 May 1997

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) is a human pathogen that adheres to and invades genital surfaces. Although pili are required for the initial adherence, the interaction of GC with epithelial cells is also promoted by a family of outer membrane proteins, the opacity (Opa) proteins such as OpaA protein from strain MS11. Studies have demonstrated that the interaction of the OpaA GC with epithelial cells involves binding...
