The 65-kDa gonococcal parietal lectin (GPL) has been purified and found to have a lectinlike activity exhibiting both structural and immunological similarities to the common antigen family. Ultrastructural localization of GPL was done by using anti-GPL monoclonal antibodies: GPL is a major component of the outer membrane and is also present in blebs formed by gonococci.

When such patients present with acute upper right quadrant pain, the differential diagnosis to other abdominal emergencies (cholecystitis, peptic ulcer disease etc.) may be difficult, because it will not always be possible to isolate the causative agent from the external genitals.
