To investigate the role of allelic variants of streptokinase in the pathogenesis of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN), site-specific integration plasmids were constructed, which contained either the non-nephritis-associated streptokinase gene (skc5) from the group C streptococcal strain Streptococcus equisimilis H46A or the nephritis-associated streptokinase gene (ska1) from the group A streptococcal nephritogenic strain NZ131. The plasmids were introduced by electroporation and ...[more]
