The precise levels in mammalian tissues of rhamnose (a constituent of the group-specific polysaccharide) and muramic acid (a constituent of peptidoglycan) at various times after systemic administration of streptococcal cell walls were noted for the first time. The extreme resistance of the streptococcal cell wall to degradation by mammalian enzymes can now be clearly appreciated. The results help explain the chronic nature of certain inflammatory diseases elicited by streptococcal cell wall debris.
首次记录了在全身给予链球菌细胞壁后的不同时间,哺乳动物组织中鼠李糖(群体特异性多糖的一种成分)和胞壁酸(肽聚糖的一种成分)的精确水平。现在可以清楚地认识到链球菌细胞壁对哺乳动物酶降解的极强抗性。这些结果有助于解释由链球菌细胞壁碎片引发的某些炎症性疾病的慢性性质。
