  • Title: Interaction of group A streptococci with human plasmin(ogen) under physiological conditions.
    Author: D'Costa SS, Boyle MD.
    Journal: Methods; 2000 Jun; 21(2):165-77. PubMed ID: 10816378.
    Abstract:
    A series of methods for analyzing the interaction of group A streptococci with the human plasminogen system are described. Examples of group A streptococcal isolates capable of assembling surface plasminogen activator activity when grown in human plasma are presented and the key requirements for this process are evaluated. The stabilities of cell-associated plasmin and plasminogen activator complexes are compared and a model for the interaction of group A streptococci with the plasminogen system in an infected host is presented.
