MeSH Heading: Staphylococcal Protein A
Tree Number(s): D12.776.097.025.821; D12.776.097.820; D23.050.161.821
Unique ID: D013205
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013205
Scope Note: A protein present in the cell wall of most Staphylococcus aureus strains. The protein selectively binds to the Fc region of human normal and myeloma-derived IMMUNOGLOBULIN G. It elicits antibody activity and may cause hypersensitivity reactions due to histamine release; has also been used as cell surface antigen marker and in the clinical assessment of B lymphocyte function.
