[The role of non-type-specific protein antigens of the cell wall in Streptococcus group A in developing delayed hypersensitivity]. 1987

E A Bazanova, and V P Bukhova, and I M Liampert

The role of the type-nonspecific (TNS) cell-wall antigens of group A streptococci has been determined. The study has been made on guinea pigs sensitized with whole microbial cells or HCl extracts containing TNS antigens. To determine delayed hypersensitivity, the in vitro cytotoxic test on adhering lymph-node cells in the autologous system has been used. The study has shown that sensitization with group A streptococci of different types or with TNS antigens induces the development of delayed hypersensitivity to TNS antigens (or antigen), common for different types of group A streptococci, but specific for this group. HCl extracts containing TNS antigens can be recommended as the preparation for testing delayed hypersensitivity to antigens, specific for group A streptococci.
