Precipitation and Complement Fixation Reactions with Residue Antigens in the Non-hemolytic Streptococcus Group
نویسنده
چکیده
The applicability to the non-hemolytic streptococci of the technique used for the extraction of a soluble precipitating substance from the hemolytic streptococci is demonstrated. With this substance as antigen, it is demonstrated by means of precipitation and complement fixation that the non-hemolytic streptococci form an antigenically distinct, but entirely heterogeneous group. Such cross-reactions as do occur within this group are not useful in the systematic classification of these organisms.

The Properties of T Antigens Extracted from Group a Hemolytic Streptococci
1. T antigens of group A hemolytic streptococci have been obtained in soluble form by digestion of the bacterial cells with pepsin or trypsin. Large quantities of this antigen were readily extracted from type 1 strains, whereas only small amounts could be obtained from strains of other types. 2. The T antigen, prepared in this way from a type 1 strain, was partially purified by chemical precipi...
متن کاملSerological Relationships among and between the Streptococci and Pneumococci
Using the complement fixation reaction with whole bacterial solutions as antigens, it has been possible to confirm the existence, within the non-hemolytic streptococcus family, of two great groups. One of these groups, that which may be designated as of the left side, is related in an orderly way to the hemolytic streptococci; the other of the right side, is similarly related to the entire pneu...

Although it has as yet not been possible to demonstrate the specific role of a causative organism in rheumatic fever, there has been considerable epidemiologic (1) and serologic (2) evidence of some relationship between the hemolytic streptococcus and this disease. Studies of both cellular and extracellular substances of the hemolytic streptococcus have with rare exceptions shown that groups of...

1. Agglutination and precipitation by the specific substance of Streptococcus viridans are parallel phenomena. Separate specific substances have been extracted from strains which are distinct by ordinary serological tests. Preliminary chemical examination indicates that the specific substances may be complex carbohydrates. 2. A close relationship between nucleoproteins from different strains of...
متن کاملSerological reactions of glycolipids from streptococcal L-forms.
Parent bacteria and L-forms of some streptococci of group A, group D, and Streptococcus MG share common antigens as shown by cross-reactivity in growth inhibition, complement fixation, and Ouchterlony tests. Cross-reactivity between these streptococci or their L-forms with a staphylococcal L-form, or Mycoplasma pneumoniae, was found only rarely and only in low-titer complement fixation tests. R...
