Abstract
IN 1959, Tauber and Garson reported the extraction and isolation of a lipopolysaccharide endotoxin from whole cells of Neisseria gonorrhoeae1. Maeland has reported the extraction of endotoxin of N. gonorrhoeae by several methods and has shown that the endotoxin contains at least two antigenic determinants as revealed by haemagglutination inhibition and absorption experiments. One determinant is a polysaccharide and the other a protein2.
