  • Title: Structural variations in pili expressed during gonococcal infection.
    Author: Duckworth M, Jackson D, Zak K, Heckels JE.
    Journal: J Gen Microbiol; 1983 May; 129(5):1593-6. PubMed ID: 6137510.
    Abstract:
    Gonococci were cultured from the urethra of male patients and from the cervix and urethra of their female partners. SDS-PAGE of cell lysates from within each group of consorts showed that outer membrane protein I remained constant but considerable variations were seen in the apparent molecular weight of protein II. Pili were purified from the isolates of some groups of consorts. In each case the pili expressed by the isolates from the female cervix and urethra differed in subunit molecular weight and were usually also distinct from the pili expressed by the isolate from the male partner.
