Serum antibody response in experimental human gonorrhoea. Immunoglobulins G, A, and M.

Abstract

This report concerns the sequential development of the immunoglobulin response to Neisseria gonorrhoeae in ten human male volunteers who were experimentally infected with virulent organisms during a study on the correlation of virulence with colonial type (Kellogg, Cohen, Norins, Schroeter, and Reising, 1968). An indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) procedure, using fluorescent antisera specific for human IgG, IgA, and IgM (Ceppellini and others, 1964) antibodies, was used to detect the
