Abstract
An intracerebral challenge of HPB black mice with Neisseria gonorrhoeae is described. In this mode, the mice died from 1 to 6 days after challenge, and T1 organisms were obtained up to the fifth day from brain, liver, kidney, and spleen. Experimental gonococcal vaccines gave good protection against the challenge.
