Neutralization of the Staphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine leukocidin by African and Caucasian sera. [PDF]
BMC Microbiol, 2022 Abstract Background The prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus isolates carrying the Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene is higher in Africa (≈50%) compared to Europe (< 5%). The study aimed to measure anti-PVL-antibodies in Africans and Germans in a multi-center study and to test whether detected antibodies can ...

Identification of staphylococcal Panton-Valentine leukocidin as a potent dermonecrotic toxin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1980 The Panton-Valentine leukocidin of Staphylococcus aureus was shown to exhibit a potent dermonecrotic effect when injected intradermally into rabbits. This effect could be abrogated by immunizing animals with the F component or both components, but immunization with the S component appeared to exacerbate certain of the intradermal responses.
