Ganglioside and rabbit erythrocyte membrane receptor for staphylococcal alpha-toxin

Ganglioside and rabbit erythrocyte membrane receptor for staphylococcal alpha-toxin

I Kato et al. Infect Immun. 1976 Jan.

Abstract

The hemolytic activity of staphylococcal alpha-toxin is inhibited by an N-acetylglucosamine-containing ganglioside (GlcNAc-ganglioside) but not by any of the related glycolipids. The GlcNAc-ganglioside also is precipitated with the toxin by a gel-diffusion technique. It is postulated that GlcNAc-ganglioside may be the membrane receptor for the alpha-toxin.
