Group A carbohydrate antigens were prepared from isolated cells walls or whole cells of S. pyogenes strain Sv (group A, M type 3). Cell walls were lysed by the enzymatic action of M1 endo-N-acetylmuramidase. The cell wall lysate was concentrated and chromatographed on a Sephadex G-100 column. Two fractions reactive with group A antisera were obtained. These were composed of N-acetylglucosamine, rhamnose and peptidoglycan components such as glutamic acid, lysine, alanine, N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. For comparison, hot trichloroacetic acid extract of the cell walls (TCAgA) or Rantz and Randall extact of the whole cells (RRgA) was purified chromatographically. The latter 2 also contained rhamnose and glucosamine and were reactive with group A antisera. The MW of M1gA antigens were larger than those of TCAgA and RRgA. Hapten inhibition study indicated that N-acetylglucosamine was the most potent inhibitor.
