Abstract excerpt
T protein is a trypsin- and pepsin-resistant molecule on the surface of group A streptococci used as a serological tool to differentiate streptococci of this group. The purpose of this study was to determine the relatedness among the T protein genes of the 25 known T serotypes. DNA probes were constructed which represented various regions of the structural gene for the T6 protein, tee6. The probes were assayed...
