Neisseria gonorrhoeae Antibody (801): sc-57933

Neisseria gonorrhoeae Antibody (801) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects Neisseria gonorrhoeae protein of non-species reactive (NSR) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a Gram-negative bacterium responsible for the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea, which primarily colonizes the mucous membranes of the urethra and can spread to other tissues, such as the female endocervix. The importance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae lies not only in its ability to cause significant health issues but also in its unique nutritional requirements for survival and proliferation, which include specific amino acids and vitamins that are not readily available in the human host. This bacterium employs fimbriae to adhere to nonciliated epithelial cells, facilitating colonization and subsequent infection. Additionally, Neisseria gonorrhoeae produces a highly toxic lipopolysaccharide endotoxin and IgA proteases, enhancing virulence and ability to evade host immune response. Symptoms of gonorrhea often include purulent genital discharge and a burning sensation during urination, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae′s resistance to the penicillin family complicates treatment options. Anti-Neisseria gonorrhoeae antibody (801) is an essential tool for researchers studying this pathogen and its interactions within the host environment.
