Cleavage of Antigen-Bound Immunoglobulin G by SpeB Contributes to Streptococcal Persistence in Opsonizing Blood
Group A streptococci (GAS) express a superantigen, SpeB, having cysteine protease activity. SpeB exhibits several properties that might contribute to virulence, the most recently discovered being the ability to cleave immunoglobulin G (IgG) in a manner similar to that of papain. In the present study...
