Meningococcal PilV Potentiates Neisseria meningitidis Type IV Pilus-Mediated Internalization into Human Endothelial and Epithelial Cells

The type IV pilus of Neisseria meningitidis is the major factor for meningococcal adhesion to host cells. In this study, we showed that a mutant of N. meningitidis pilV, a minor pilin protein, internalized less efficiently to human endothelial and epithelial cells than the wild-type strain. Matrix-a...
