M antigens of group A streptococci isolated by means of immunochromatography. Biochemical and serological properties. 1981

O Kühnemund, and J Havlicek, and H Knöll, and J Sjöquist

M proteins of Streptococcus pyogenes types 1 and 12 were purified by immunochromatography on immobilized type-specific opsonizing antibodies. The M proteins were characterized serologically and biochemically. They absorb after immobilization opsonizing antibodies and only precipitate with homologous antisera in immunodiffusion. In SDS PAGE they show one main band, corresponding to mol. weights of 5 X 104 (type 1) and 5.4 X 104 (type 12), accompanied by faint lines, which form with the main band a precipitation line of identity in SDS-crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Both M proteins aggregate blood platelets and clot fibrinogen.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007123 Immunoelectrophoresis, Two-Dimensional Immunoelectrophoresis in which a second electrophoretic transport is performed on the initially separated antigen fragments into an antibody-containing medium in a direction perpendicular to the first electrophoresis. Immunoelectrophoresis, Crossed,Immunoelectrophoresis, 2-D,Immunoelectrophoresis, 2D,2-D Immunoelectrophoresis,2D Immunoelectrophoresis,Crossed Immunoelectrophoresis,Immunoelectrophoresis, 2 D,Immunoelectrophoresis, Two Dimensional,Two-Dimensional Immunoelectrophoresis
D009895 Opsonin Proteins Proteins that bind to particles and cells to increase susceptibility to PHAGOCYTOSIS, especially ANTIBODIES bound to EPITOPES that attach to FC RECEPTORS. COMPLEMENT C3B may also participate. Opsonin,Opsonin Protein,Opsonins,Protein, Opsonin
D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D001777 Blood Coagulation The process of the interaction of BLOOD COAGULATION FACTORS that results in an insoluble FIBRIN clot. Blood Clotting,Coagulation, Blood,Blood Clottings,Clotting, Blood
D002352 Carrier Proteins Proteins that bind or transport specific substances in the blood, within the cell, or across cell membranes. Binding Proteins,Carrier Protein,Transport Protein,Transport Proteins,Binding Protein,Protein, Carrier,Proteins, Carrier
D002621 Chemistry A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D004591 Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis in which a polyacrylamide gel is used as the diffusion medium. Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis,SDS-PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGE,Gel Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide,SDS PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGEs
D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products. Coagulation Factor I,Factor I,Blood Coagulation Factor I,gamma-Fibrinogen,Factor I, Coagulation,gamma Fibrinogen
D000042 Absorption The physical or physiological processes by which substances, tissue, cells, etc. take up or take in other substances or energy.
