Product Name 

Streptolysin O (Hemolytic streptococcus) protein

Product type 

Proteins and Peptides

Peptide 

The product was highly purified from E.coli over-expressing Streptolysin O of Group C hemolytic streptococci.

Specificity 

The specific activity is as high as 700,000 to ~1,000,000 hemolytic units (HU) /mg.
Definition of 1HU is the activation of 50% hemolysis on 3% sheep red blood cells.

Tested applications 
(see key)

FuncS, SDS-PAGE

Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
SDS-PAGE: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
FuncS: Enzyme activity: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
Also useful as antigen for the measurement of anti-streptolysin 0 antibody (AS0) (diagnostic reagent) and as a reagent for membrane pore formation to introduce small to macromolecules into living cells.

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

Streptolysin O (SLO) is a membrane-damaging extracellular toxin produced by hemolytic streptococci. The membrane-damaging activity is measured by hemolysis of red-blood cell. SLO is oxygen-sensitive and is easily inactivated in its presence but can be reactivated by thiol compounds , so it is also called thiol-activated cytolysin (2). SLO is produced not only by Group A hemolytic streptococci but also by Group C and Group G strains. The amino acid sequences are highly conserved among them and their homology is over 98%.
