Acrylamide gel electrophoresis of group A streptococcal cell walls.
Patterns obtained by acrylamide gel electrophoresis of group A streptococcal cell walls were characteristic for M types 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Best results were obtained with cell walls which had been solubilized with a phenol-acetic acid-water mixture. The method will make it possible to compare group A streptococci of epidemiological and clinical significance and to separate components for more critical analysis.
