Nonimmune Interaction of the SfbI Protein ofStreptococcus pyogeneswith the Immunoglobulin G F(ab′)2Fragment

Abstract
Fibronectin-binding protein I (SfbI) ofStreptococcus pyogenesbinds to mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG) but not to IgA or IgM in a nonimmune fashion. The fibronectin-binding domains of SfbI were responsible for this activity, which was targeted to the IgG F(ab′)2fragment. SfbI also binds to B cells but not to CD4+or CD8+lymphocytes.
