Sixteen lectins were examined for their ability to agglutinate 298 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Seven lectins failed to agglutinate any of the strains; the remaining nine lectins gave 22 different agglutination patterns. The 298 strains were divided into 14 serovars with a single panel of monoclonal antibody typing reagents; lectin agglutination subdivided these into 57 serovar/lectin patterns. A combination of two monoclonal antibody serotyping panels divided the strains into 32 serovar combinations; lectin agglutination further subdivided these into 79 serovar/lectin patterns. There was no correlation between lectin pattern and serovar. Lectin agglutination is a simple supplementary typing method and could be particularly useful in micro-epidemiological studies.
检测了16种凝集素凝集298株淋病奈瑟菌的能力。7种凝集素未能凝集任何菌株；其余9种凝集素产生了22种不同的凝集模式。用一组单克隆抗体分型试剂将298株菌株分为14个血清型；凝集素凝集将这些血清型进一步细分为57种血清型/凝集素模式。两组单克隆抗体血清学分型试剂组合将菌株分为32种血清型组合；凝集素凝集进一步将这些组合细分为79种血清型/凝集素模式。凝集素模式与血清型之间没有相关性。凝集素凝集是一种简单的补充分型方法，在微观流行病学研究中可能特别有用。
