Differential Opa specificities for CD66 receptors influence tissue interactions and cellular response to <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
The ability of all 11 variable opacity (Opa) proteins encoded by Neisseria gonorrhoeae MS11 to interact directly with the five CD66 antigens was determined. Transfected HeLa cell lines expressing individual CD66 antigens were infected with recombinant N. gonorrhoeae and Escherichia coli strains expressing defined Opas. Based upon the ability of these bacteria to bind and invade and to isolate specifically CD66...
