Hemolytic activity of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 Zones of beta-hemolysis occurred around colonies of Borrelia burgdorferi grown on Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly medium containing agarose and horse blood. Blood plates were inoculated with either the infective strain Sh-2-82 or noninfective strain B-31 in an overlay and incubated in a candle jar. Both strains of B. burgdorferi displayed beta-hemolysis after 1

Comparison of hemolytic activity of the intermediate subunit of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar lectins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Galactose and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-inhibitable lectin of Entamoeba histolytica has roles in pathogenicity and induction of protective immunity in rodent models of amoebiasis. Recently, the intermediate subunit of the lectin, Igl1, of E.

An Adenosinetriphosphate-Activated Hemolytic System [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1959 Lysis of human red cells in vitro by an enzyme obtained from rabbit red cell hemolysates and the inhibition of this lytic activity by human stroma have been shown to require Mg++ and ATP, and ATP utilization has been demonstrated in both reactions. We find that sodium or potassium ions are also required for the lytic phenomenon and that they enhance ...
