Pro-inflammatory interactions of streptolysin O toxin with human neutrophils in vitro by D. Joseph, A. J. Theron, C. Feldman, R. Anderson, G. R. Tintinger

“…The current study was designed to investigate the effects of pretreatment of isolated human PMN with purified SOT on several pro-inflammatory activities, including generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), degranulation (elastase release), influx of extracellular calcium (Ca2+) and release of extracellular DNA (NETosis), using chemiluminescence, spectrophotometric and fluorimetric procedures, respectively. Exposure of PMN to SOT alone caused modest production of ROS and elastase release, while pretreatment with the toxin caused significant augmentation of chemoattractant (fMLP)-activated ROS generation and release of elastase by activated PMN. …”
