Abstract
A glycerol lipoteichoic acid antigen from Streptococcus pyogenes 1-RP41 was found by rabbit erythrocyte hemolytic assay to activate the alternative complement pathway in human sera. Over a narrow concentration range of the teichoic acid, complement consumption was dose dependent, whereas at higher concentrations of the acid complement consumption could not be detected.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
