Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS) fromNeisseria gonorrhoeaeresulted in the formation of multiple bands. Many of the bands consisted of LPS aggregates, which could be dissociated by treatment with 0.1MNaOH or by addition of 4Murea to the separating gel. The unaggregated LPS was usually found in one to three bands toward the bottom of the gels, a result suggesting that a long repeating 0 antigen is not present on gonococcal LPS. SDS-PAGE of LPS from different LPS serotypes ofN gonorrhoeaeindicated that structural heterogeneity exists. Antigenic analysis by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay inhibition of gonococcal LPS extracted with phenol-chloroform-petroleum ether (PCP) and phenol-water revealed that PCP-extracted LPS contained substantially less serotype-specific antigen than did phenol-water-extracted LPS. These results suggest that the PCP and phenol-water methods extract different molecular species of LPS fromN gonorrhoeae.
