  • Title: The characteristics of M proteins purified by column chromatography with hydroxyapatite from acid extracts of Streptococcus pyogenes of types 1, 3, 6, 12 and 17.
    Author: Vosti KL.
    Journal: J Med Microbiol; 1978 Nov; 11(4):453-62. PubMed ID: 364064.
    Abstract:
    Purified M proteins were recovered from acid extracts of Streptococcus pyogenes, M-types 1, 3, 6, 12 and 17, by elution from columns of hydroxyapatite of the proteins precipitated with ammonium sulphate. M protein free from non-type-specific antigens was recovered only from M-type 12. Although similar fractions were not recovered from M-types 1, 3, 6 and 17, purified preparations containing a single cross-reactive antigen were obtained. In addition to the M proteins associated with cross-reactive antigens, type-specific antigens that did not stimulate opsonic antibodies were isolated from revealed molecular weights that ranged from 32,000 to 63,000 daltons, total amino acid compositions that were similar, and N-terminal amino acids that were variable.
