Streptococcal group B type antigen X in group L streptococci.
Extracts from 19 of 29 group L streptococcal cultures reacted distinctly with antiserum against group B streptococcal type antigen X in coagglutination and immunodiffusion tests. The X antigen corresponded to those obtained by streptococci of serological groups B and G.
متن کاملIsolation of type-specific polysaccharide antigen from group B type Ib streptococci
Group B streptococcus type Ib (strain H36B) was subjected to digestion with extracellular muralytic enzymes prepared from Streptomyces albus. Type Ib-specific polysaccharide antigen was isolated from the lysate by alcohol precipitation and Sepharose 6B chromatography. The purified type Ib antigen has a Kd value of 0.31 on a Sepharose 4B column and contains four sugars, galactose, glucose, N-ace...
متن کاملType-specific Polysaccharide Antigens of Group B Streptococci
The type-specific antigen of Group B Type II streptococci has been prepared free of other known cell components. This antigen is a capsular polysaccharide containing D-galactose, D-glucose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and a labile component which has not been chemically characterized. Extraction of Type II streptococci with cold TCA yielded this antigen which contained two serological determinants....
متن کاملA surface receptor specific for human IgA on group B streptococci possessing the Ibc protein antigen
A number of group B streptococcal strains of various serotypes, Ia, Ib, Ic, II, and III were examined for their ability to bind human IgG and IgA. No strains of group B streptococci were found to bind IgG, but many strains possessing the Ibc protein antigen(s) were found to bind a significant amount of IgA. The extent of IgA binding correlated with the amount of a 130,000 mol wt, detergent-extr...
متن کاملDecreased capacity for type-specific-antigen synthesis accounts for high prevalence of nontypeable strains of group B streptococci in Mexico.
The low incidence of group B streptococcal (GBS) invasive neonatal disease in Mexico has been attributed to the low prevalence of serotype III strains, a major serotype in developed countries. In addition, nontypeable strains account for 12% of the isolates in Mexico and < 1% of the isolates in the United States. In this study, 57 GBS isolates (28 nontypeable by the Lancefield procedure) from c...
