Neisseria gonorrhoeae Antibody (9161): sc-57936

Neisseria gonorrhoeae Antibody (9161) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects Neisseria gonorrhoeae with species reactivity in non-specific reactions by immunofluorescence (IF). 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 ability of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to adhere to nonciliated epithelial cells is facilitated by fimbriae, which play a crucial role in pathogenicity. Additionally, Neisseria gonorrhoeae produces a highly toxic lipopolysaccharide endotoxin and IgA proteases, enhancing virulence and ability to evade host immune response. Understanding Neisseria gonorrhoeae structure, particularly outer membrane components, is vital as these influence bacterial interaction with host cells and susceptibility to antibiotics. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, particularly those resistant to the penicillin family, underscores the importance of studying this pathogen and developing effective diagnostic tools, such as anti-Neisseria gonorrhoeae antibody (9161), to aid in detection and management of gonorrhea.

The preferred Neisseria gonorrhoeae antibody is Neisseria gonorrhoeae Antibody (4611): sc-57931.
