Electron Microscopic Studies on Streptococci
The location of Group A carbohydrate in the streptococcal cell wall has been studied by several ultrastructural techniques. The findings, based largely on use of ferritin- and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibodies, are interpreted as demonstrating a discrete laminar distribution of the group-specific polysaccharide. This carbohydrate layer is located on the outermost surface of the cell ...
متن کاملElectron microscopic studies on opaque colony variants of group A streptococci.
Opaque colony variants of two strains of group A streptococci have been compared with blue colonies of the same strains by electron microscopy. In opaque colonies, the cocci are joined into elongated chains by exaggerated intercellular septa that often occupy the major portion of each cell's circumference. The thickness and lamination of cell walls in opaque colony variants are identical to tho...
متن کاملElectron Microscopic Studies
Cultured, human, amniotic cells (FL strain) injected into the thigh muscles of cortisoneconditioned mice proliferated to form discrete colonies which, over a period of 5 days, became invested by numerous fibroblasts. Cartilage cells and matrix appeared within the fibroblastic zones during the succeeding 2-4 days. Cartilage matrix calcified within 12 days following FL-cell injection. Cartilage c...
متن کاملStudies on a toxic cellular component of group A streptococci.
The hemolytic properties of extracts of sonic disrupted group A streptococcal cells have been described previously by Schwab (1956a, 1956b). After a single intradermal injection into rabbits, similar cellular extracts have been observed to induce chronic remittent nodular skin lesions associated with marked changes in the dermal connective tissue. It is the purpose of this communication to desc...
متن کاملStudies on a Lipoproteinase of Group a Streptococci
The opalescence produced in serum by group A streptococci has been investigated. The development of opalescence is shown to be initiated by an enzyme attached to the bacterial cell which acts upon the alpha(1)-lipoprotein fraction of serum liberating the lipids from the protein. This enzyme has been termed a lipoproteinase. Evidence is presented which suggests that the degree of opalescence whi...
