Heba Hilal, Dr. Raghad Saad
Streptococcus pyogenes a common pathogen that causes infectious illnesses in children is also known as Lancefield group A streptococcus or GAS. In the process of figuring out which carbohydrates were involved in the Lancefield Group typing, Lancefield also isolated a protein that is a significant immunogen of GAS. The hypervariable region (HVR) of the N-terminal domain of the M protein contains the majority of its variants, and serotyping is dependent on antibodies that target this area.
