Group A streptococci induce stronger M protein-fibronectin interaction when specific human antibodies are bound
26 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a highly adapted, human-specific pathogen that is known to manipulate the immune system through various mechanisms. GAS’ M protein constitutes a primary target of the immune system due to its spatial configuration and dominance on the bacterial surface. Antibody responses targeting the M protein have been shown to favor the conserved C region. Such antibodies (Abs) circumvent...
