Pneumococcal Forssman antigen: enrichment in mesosomal membranes and specific binding to the autolytic enzyme of Streptococcus pneumoniae
1985
Journal of Bacteriology
The choline-containing pneumococcal membrane teichoic acid (Forssman antigen) can be isolated with the membrane fractions of the bacteria. The small vesicle (mesosomal) fraction generated during the formation of protoplasts seems to be highly enriched in this material. Forssman antigen was identified in cell fractions on the basis of (i) radioactive choline label, (ii) autolysin-inhibitory activity, and (iii) the sedimentation profile in sucrose density gradients with and without detergent.
