title: Induction of glutathione-S-transferase isoenzymes by protein A in rat liver.
abstract: The administration of Protein A, a cell wall protein of Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I cells, causes an induction of glutathione-s-transferase in rat liver. Proteins, cross reactive with anti human glutathione-s-transferase, acidic (pi), basic (alpha, and neutral (mu) isoenzymes, are induced by 5.8, 2.2 and 6.15 fold respectively. The induction of glutathione -s-transferases, at least in part, might play a role in manifestation of therapeutic properties of Protein A.
