[The level of IgM, IgG and IgA antibodies and total antibodies to the low-molecular, cell-wall protein of Streptococcus group A without type specificity in the serum of patients with a streptococcal infection].
The levels of IgM, IgG and IgA antibodies, as well as total antibodies, to group A streptococcal low-molecular cell-wall protein without type specificity were studied in the sera of patients with primary erysipelas, rheumatism in the active and inactive phases, seronegative rheumatoid arthritis, as well as in the sera of healthy donors. The average level of antibodies to low-molecular protein in the sera of all groups of patients was significantly higher than the sera of healthy donors. The analysis of the distribution of antibodies in accordance with their isotypes revealed the specific features of response, characteristic of each group of patients. For rheumatism patients, the positive correlation between response to low-molecular protein and response to group-specific polysaccharide A was established. This correlation was most pronounced in patients with rheumatism in the inactive phase.
