The host response to Neisseria gonorrhoeae is variable, and understanding its systemic and local components is critical to understanding anti-gonococcal immunity for vaccine development. We used a controlled human infection model of male gonococcal urethritis in naive volunteers in combination with multiplex cytokine analyte analysis of blood and urine specimens taken before infection, at the time of acute symptoms, and after curative treatment of N. gonorrhoeae to study responses to early infec...
