Inhibition of Neisseria gonorrhoeae attachment to HeLa cells with monoclonal antibody directed against a protein II.
This study showed that a protein II (PII) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae FA1090 appeared to act as a mediator of attachment to HeLa cells. Two colony variants of FA1090 were selected. Both gonococcal variants were nonpiliated, but one contained a PII and the other did not. A monoclonal antibody (1090-10.1), which was directed against the PII, inhibited the apparent PII-mediated attachment to HeLa cel...
متن کاملBinding of vitronectin to opa-expressing Neisseria gonorrhoeae mediates invasion of HeLa cells.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae induces local infections in the human genitourinary tract and can disseminate to other organs to cause severe disease. Blood-derived factors present in the genital mucosa have been suggested to facilitate the spread of N. gonorrhoeae in disseminated gonococcal infections. Using gentamicin invasion assays and confocal microscopy, we observed a strong stimulatory effect of f...
متن کاملInduced engulfment of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by tissue culture cells.
Engulfment of gonococci by mammalian tissue culture cells was examined as a model of the penetration of host cells in gonorrhea. Engulfment required viable organisms; killing the gonococci with heat or refrigeration abolished the process. Engulfment also required tissue culture cell microtubule- and microfilament-dependent movement; treating the cells with cytochalasin B (0.5 micrograms/ml) or ...

Title of Document: INTERACTIONS OF NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE WITH EPITHELIAL CELLS Liang-Chun Wang Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Dr. Wenxia Song, Associate Professor Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) infects epithelial cells lining the female reproductive tract. The majority of GC infections in women are asymptomatic, which can lead to chronic in...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
