Research Abstract

In this study, I confirmed the universality of G1 arrest caused by gonococcus infection in culture cell. I examined about the G1 arrest ability of various strains varied by MLST analysis. The host cell used HeLa cell. In the strain of 40 different phylesis, there was not the strains which significantly caused G1 arrest. Significant difference slightly examined a quantitative alteration of the cytokine production about approved two strains, but the significant difference between the strains was not recognized. These results indicated that the possibility that the G1 arrest in the gonococcus infection cell was caused by the certain strain which was not a general phenomenon.
