摘要

A gonococcal gene bank maintained in Escherichia coli K-12 was screened by colony immunoblotting, and a transformant expressing a surface antigen reactive to anti-gonococcal outer membrane antiserum was isolated. The isolate carried a recombinant plasmid, pTME6, consisting of approximately 9 kilobases of Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA inserted into the BamHI site of pBR322. Surface labeling of E. coli HB101(pTME6) confirmed that the antigen was expressed on the E. coli cell surface. The antigenic material was resistant to proteinase K digestion and sensitive to periodate oxidation, indicating that the material was carbohydrate. Purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from HB101(pTME6) produced a unique band on silver-stained polyacrylamide gels that contained immunoreactive material as seen on Western blots of LPS samples. Only two of three E. coli LPS mutant strains carrying pTME6 reacted with the antigonococcal antiserum, suggesting that a certain E. coli core structure is necessary for antigen expression. We conclude that pTME6 contains one or more gonococcal genes encoding an LPS core biosynthetic enzyme(s) which can modify E. coli core LPS to produce a gonococcuslike epitope(s).
