01
Overview
The outer membrane antigens of Neisseria gonorrhoeae are a complex mixture of proteins, phospholipids, and lipooligosaccharide (LOS) that play a critical role in the bacterium's pathogenesis and ability to evade the host immune system. Key outer membrane proteins (OMPs) like PorB, RmpM/PIII, PilQ, and components of the BAM complex are essential for nutrient acquisition, structural integrity, and virulence. These antigens are under investigation as potential vaccine candidates, but their antigenic diversity and the presence of blocking antibodies complicate vaccine development efforts.
