Phenotypic diversity in the alpha C protein of group B streptococci.

Infection and immunity - 1 Aug 1991

Madoff L C, Hori S, Michel J L, Baker C J, Kasper D L

Abstract excerpt

Group B streptococci (GBS) is the leading cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis. C proteins are an immunologically important group of surface-associated antigens in GBS that remain incompletely characterized. Two C proteins have been designated alpha and beta on the basis of protease susceptibility. We recently used a monoclonal antibody to describe a protective epitope of the GBS alpha (or trypsin-resistant) C...
