Abstract:
Peptide fragments of streptococcal M protein named CB3, CB4, and CB5 and related synthetic peptides have been identified. When linked to a protein carrier which is polylysine the conjugates of CB3, CB4, CB5, and S-CB3 are capable of evoking type specific opsonic antibodies against streptococci.
