  • Title: Anti-streptopolysaccharide antibody in children with rheumatic fever and scarlet fever.
    Author: Watanabe N, Mikuni K, Nakamura Y.
    Journal: Jpn Circ J; 1987 Dec; 51(12):1350-2. PubMed ID: 3327951.
    Abstract:
    As the serological test of streptococcal infection, the measurement of anti-exotoxin antibodies such as ASO is widely practiced. M protein of the cell wall of group A streptococcus has type specificity. To detect the anti M protein antibody is very significant, but it is not easy to apply this to clinical practice because there are many types and because of the difficulty of purifying M protein. C polypeptide has group specificity, so the measurement of the antibody to C polypeptide is very important as the serological test of group A streptococcus.
