Descriptor Spanish: Proteína Estafilocócica A
Descriptor proteína estafilocócica A
Entry term(s) proteína A
Scope note: Proteína presente en la pared celular de la mayoría de las cepas de Staphylococcus aureus. La proteína se une de modo selectivo a la región Fc de la INMUNOGLOBULINA G humana normal y derivada del mieloma. Desencadena actividad de anticuerpo y puede producir reacciones de hipersensibilidad por la liberación de histamina; se ha utilizado también como marcador de antígeno de la superficie celular y en la evaluación clínica de la función de los linfocitos B.

Scope note: A protein present in the cell wall of most Staphylococcus aureus strains. The protein selectively binds to the Fc region of human normal and myeloma-derived IMMUNOGLOBULIN G. It elicits antibody activity and may cause hypersensitivity reactions due to histamine release; has also been used as cell surface antigen marker and in the clinical assessment of B lymphocyte function.
