Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the Chemical Nature of the Substance Inducing Transformation of Pneumococcal Types: Induction of Transformation by a Desoxyribonucleic Acid Fraction Isolated from Pneumococcus Type III
TL;DR: A reprint of Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty's article on the 35th anniversary of its original publication.
Book ChapterDOI
Studies on the chemical nature of the substance inducing transformation of pneumococcal types
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the chemically induced alterations in cellular structure and function are predictable, type-specific, and transmissible in series.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple mouse-protective antibodies directed against group B streptococci. Special reference to antibodies effective against protein antigens.
TL;DR: The present experiments show that specific antibodies directed to either polysaccharide or protein antigens of a single strain can be protective against infection with streptococci containing these antigENS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of C-reactive protein in the blood as a measure of the activity of the disease process in acute rheumatic fever
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the chemical structure of the streptococcal cell wall. I. The identification of a mucopeptide in the cell walls of groups A and A-variant streptococci.

TL;DR: Serological studies suggest that the specificity of Group C carbohydrate is determined by the N-acetylgalactosamine, similar in composition to that of Groups A and A-variant streptococci.
