Figure Lengend Snippet: Neisserial glycoprotein profiles and glycan diversity. (Top panels) Immunoblotting of whole-cell lysates from strains of N. gonorrhoeae (Ngo) (N400 pglC, N400, and FA1090), N. meningitidis (Nme) (MC58, H44/76, Z2491, 8013, FAM18, BZ 10, and BZ 198), and N. lactamica (Nla) (ST-3787 and ST-640) with glycan-specific monoclonal antibodies. (Bottom panels) Immunoblotting using the SM1 MAb specifically recognizing class I pilin types and a polyclonal antiserum raised against the PilE-derived peptide 44KSAVTEYYLNHGKWPENNTSA64, which reacts with all pilin types. Thus, strains FAM18, BZ 10, ST-3787, and ST-640 all express class II pilins. Also, strains 8013, FAM18, BZ 10, and BZ 198 carry the pglB2 allele that is associated with synthesis of GATDH glycans, while all of the other strains have the pglB allele that is associated with synthesis of DATDH glycans.
