Evasion of Phagocytosis through Cooperation between Two Ligand-binding Regions in Streptococcus pyogenes M Protein

The M protein of Streptococcus pyogenes is a major bacterial virulence factor that confers resistance to phagocytosis. To analyze how M protein allows evasion of phagocytosis, we used the M22 protein, which has features typical of many M proteins and has two well-characterized regions binding human...
