Abstract

The Lancefield Group A hemolytic streptococcus liberates, among other substances, a hemolyzing agent or streptolysin which is capable of activating the production of specific antibodies. Todd separated two distinct streptolysins. He found that streptolysin S was oxygen stable and serum soluble and that streptolysin 0 was oxygen-labile and much more antigenic than the former.
