Abstract
The wealth of antigens and of immune responses associated with streptococci has provided a wide choice of antibodies for clinical diagnosis of streptococcal infections, abundant materials and models for experimental immunologists and immunogeneticists, and a diversity of hypotheses about the pathogenesis of the nonsuppurative complications of streptococcal infections, acute nephritis and acute rheumatic fever.
