Opsonization of two different streptococcal group A type 12 strains was investigated. The strains differed only in M protein presence. It was observed that after the treatment of bacteria with fresh normal rabbit serum M positive strains bind to their surface IgG only whereas M negative strains solely some complement components. These results may suggest that streptococci lacking M protein are able to activate complement by alternate pathway.
对两种不同的A群12型链球菌菌株的调理作用进行了研究。这些菌株仅在M蛋白的存在方面有所不同。观察到,在用新鲜的正常兔血清处理细菌后,M阳性菌株仅在其表面结合IgG,而M阴性菌株仅结合一些补体成分。这些结果可能表明,缺乏M蛋白的链球菌能够通过替代途径激活补体。
