Notes:
Abstract Group A streptococcus polysaccharide is found to inhibit the activity of ConA-stimulated T suppressors. A-variant streptococcus polysaccharide, representing an L-rhamnose homopolymer which is identical to the rhamnose carcass of group A streptococcus polysaccharide, does not possess such an effect. The effect of group A streptococcus polysaccharide on the activity of T suppressors is considered to be associated with its determinant including N-acetylglucosamine as an obligatory component.
