Purification of Streptolysin O

Nature volume 196, pages 374–375 (1962)Cite this article

Abstract

AMONG the numerous extracellular enzymes and toxins elaborated by the different strains of groups A, C and G Streptococci, Streptolysin O has been investigated very extensively. A number of reports1–3 have suggested the close relation existing between streptolysin O and the damage occasioned by Streptococcus in several infections especially in rheumatic fever. The different stages of discovery and study of biological and physico-chemical properties of Streptolysin O have been reviewed thoroughly by Rammelkamp and Dingle4, Herbert and Todd5 and Bernheimer6.
