Fibronectin enhances transfection of Staphylococcus aureus
Applied and Environmental Microbiology
|November 1, 1985
Abstract:
The factor in normal sera primarily responsible for the enhancement of transfection (and transformation) of Staphylococcus aureus was identified as fibronectin. Serum samples which were depleted of fibronectin by affinity chromatography showed a marked decrease in enhancing activity. Fibronectin isolated from sera of several animal species demonstrated enhancing activity.
