Intranasal immunization with C5a peptidase prevents nasopharyngeal colonization of mice by the group A Streptococcus.

Early inflammatory events are initiated by phased production of C5a and interleukin-8 in tissue. Most serotypes of group A streptococci express a surface-bound peptidase (SCPA) which specifically cleaves mouse and human C5a chemotaxins. This study investigates the impact of SCPA on colonization of t...
