Previous investigators have demonstrated that a sialic acid residue is added to the terminal galactose moiety of gonococcal lipooligosaccharide (LOS) when incubated with 5'-CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid. When this in vitro sialylation occurs, gonococci become resistant to the bactericidal activity of normal human serum. This is believed to result because the added sialic acid residue blocks the binding of bactericidal anti-LOS antibodies present in normal human serum. We extend these studies by demonstrating that sialylated gonococci also become resistant to the bactericidal effect of immune sera containing antibodies that recognize exposed components of the outer membrane besides LOS. Prevention of antibody binding to the organism was not the cause, since the same percentage of bactericidal antibodies to the major outer membrane protein, Protein I, can be absorbed with sialylated organisms as with wild-type organisms. In addition, gonococcal sialylation prevents opsonophagocytosis by antigonococcal antisera. The negative effect of sialic acid on the complement pathway might be the reason for the findings in this study.
