[Interaction in vitro between polymorphonuclear leukocytes and subcellular fractions of Streptococcus pyogenes]. 1976

M A Tufano, and F Rossano

The effects of cellular subfractions of S. pyogenes on phagocytosis from neutrophils were studied. Cell-walls and membranes were found to stimulate the phagocytosis at low concentrations: at immediately higher doses they show to have a citotoxic effect.

D002473	Cell Wall	The outermost layer of a cell in most PLANTS; BACTERIA; FUNGI; and ALGAE. The cell wall is usually a rigid structure that lies external to the CELL MEMBRANE, and provides a protective barrier against physical or chemical agents.	Cell Walls,Wall, Cell,Walls, Cell
D013297	Streptococcus pyogenes	A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria isolated from skin lesions, blood, inflammatory exudates, and the upper respiratory tract of humans. It is a group A hemolytic Streptococcus that can cause SCARLET FEVER and RHEUMATIC FEVER.	Flesh-Eating Bacteria,Streptococcus Group A,Bacteria, Flesh-Eating
D013347	Subcellular Fractions	Components of a cell produced by various separation techniques which, though they disrupt the delicate anatomy of a cell, preserve the structure and physiology of its functioning constituents for biochemical and ultrastructural analysis.
