Streptococci of group A, type 1, are lysed by use of phage associated lysin, which is characterized as a N-Acetyl-D-glucosaminidase. This enzyme has no proteolytic activity. Type specific protein antigens are isolated and purified by ion exchange chromatography on CM-cellulose and DEAE-cellulose of the crude extract, concentrated by precipitation with ammonium sulfate. The immunization tests are carried out on monkeys and rabbits.
