TOXIC EFFECTS OF STREPTOCOCCAL M PROTEIN ON PLATELETS AND POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES IN HUMAN BLOOD

Purified M protein isolated from Group A streptococci produced cytotoxic reactions in normal human blood in vitro. In the presence of M antigen, platelets aggregated, fused, and lysed. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) surrounded the platelet aggregates, then became highly vacuolated and lysed. In...
