Resistance to Both Complement Activation and Phagocytosis in Type 3 Pneumococci Is Mediated by the Binding of Complement Regulatory Protein Factor H

To study the role of surface-associated proteins in the virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae, we used two serotype 3 strains, ATCC 6303 and WU2, and two PspA-negative mutants of WU2, an encapsulated one, JY1123 (Caps(+)/PspA(−)), and an unencapsulated one, DW3.8 (Caps(−)/PspA(−)). ATCC 6303 and WU2...
