In this study, all 88 streptococci of serological group L isolated from cows, pigs, poultry and humans bound 125I-immunoglobulin G, and, in addition, 22 cultures interacted with 125I-albumin. IgG- and albumin-binding sites were solubilized from the streptococcal surface by heat extraction at an acid pH and also by mutanolysin treatment of the bacteria. Western blot analysis of these binding proteins revealed that almost identical protein bands were responsible for 125I-IgG and -albumin binding. Certain protein fractions of the cultures interacted exclusively with 125I-IgG, indicating that there are two groups of IgG receptors among streptococci of this serogroup.

D011201	Poultry Diseases	Diseases of birds which are raised as a source of meat or eggs for human consumption and are usually found in barnyards, hatcheries, etc. The concept is differentiated from BIRD DISEASES which is for diseases of birds not considered poultry and usually found in zoos, parks, and the wild.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013291	Streptococcus	A genus of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria whose organisms occur in pairs or chains. No endospores are produced. Many species exist as commensals or parasites on man or animals with some being highly pathogenic. A few species are saprophytes and occur in the natural environment.
