title: The production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against the protein III of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies were produced against gonococcal protein III. Antibodies of two different specificities were obtained. One reacted with all Neisseria species tested (N. gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis and five non-pathogenic species), whereas the other was specific for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and may provide the basis for improved diagnostic reagents.
