Cross-reactivity between streptococcal M surface antigen and human skin

1 Nov 1991

Abstract excerpt

Psoriasis can be triggered by haemolytic streptococcal infections. As M protein is a major pathogenic surface antigen in these streptococci, the cross-reactivity between streptococcal M protein surface antigens and human epidermis was investigated. The conserved component common to the few M proteins investigated consists of an alpha-helical 'coiled-coil' configuration, similar to sub-units of human keratin. The...
