Abstract excerpt
This study examined the role of antibodies against the X-protein, a surface-localized antigen frequently associated with streptococci causing mastitis in cattle, in the opsonization and phagocytosis of unencapsulated Streptococcus agalactiae. The analysis of various strains of serotype NT/X by flow cytometry, after labeling with a monoclonal antibody to X-protein, revealed that they consisted of a mixture of...
