additional information | Streptococcus pyogenes | thus, although IgG might by a substrate for SpeB under certain environmental conditions, it seems unlikely that SpeB is part of the first line of defense against specific antibodies. Even though SpeB might not be directly involved in the attenuation of the adaptive immune response, its proteolytic activity towards streptococcal surface proteins, including IgG-binding proteins and the streptococcal C5a peptidase, could certainly be important for the modulation of the complement system | ? | - |
