Abstract
⺠AniA of Neisseria gonorrhoeae is surface exposed. ⺠The O-linked monosaccharide of the AniA glycoprotein is immunodominant. ⺠Removal of the glycan results in the generation of a non-native immune response. ⺠This immune response is towards the AniA polypeptide. ⺠The non-native immune response produces antibodies capable of functional blocking.
