C4BP occludes the non-opsonic interaction of <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> with human neutrophil CEACAMs

2026-01-20

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gc) causes the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea, an urgent public health concern. Gc infection elicits a robust neutrophil response and serum leakage, but Gc has developed specialized defenses to evade both complement and neutrophils. We recently reported that the classical complement pathway inhibitor C4b-binding protein (C4BP) binds to Gc and reduces phagocytic killing by neutrophi...
