Role of lipopolysaccharide in wheat germ agglutinin-mediated agglutination of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Wheat germ agglutinin, having specificity for N-acetyl glucosamine, agglutinated known nonencapsulated Neisseria meningtidis strains, but failed to agglutinate encapsulated strains of all serogroups tested Presence of a capsule, therefore, blocked wheat germ agglutinin agglutination of N. meningitid...
