Identifies candidate antigen for streptococcal endocarditis diagnostics; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before clinical consideration.
Sommer et al. (1992) studied Infective endocarditis. 145-kDa laminin-binding protein of Streptococcus gordonii was evaluated on Expression and recognition of the 145-kDa protein. A 145-kDa laminin-binding protein of Streptococcus gordonii was recognized as a major antigen by sera from patients with streptococcal infective endocarditis, suggesting increased expression during infection.
