Detection of Gonococcal Antibody.

Abstract

SummaryAn antigen which is suitable for detecting gononoccal antibody is obtained from Neisseria gonorrhoeae by phenol extraction. The results of employing this phenol extract antigen in a precipitin test, with 3 groups presumed free of gonococcal infection and 3 groups demonstrated to have gonococcal infection, indicate that it can detect gonococcal antibody in human sera.
