Background

Streptolysin O (SLO) is a membrane-damaging extracellular toxin produced by hemolytic streptococci. The membrane-damaging activity is measured by hemolysis of red-blood cells. SLO is easily inactivated in the presence of oxygen but can be reactivated by thiol compounds, so it is also called thiol-activated cytolysin. SLO is produced not only by Group A hemolytic streptococci but also by Group C and Group G strains. The amino acid sequences are highly conserved among them and their homology is over 98%.
 

Health Hazard Data

LD50 - Lethal dose (50 percent kill) intravenous,

Rabbit: 1500 ng/kg (Ref:PHTHDT Pharmacology and Therapeutics. (Pergamon Press Ltd.,Headington Hill Hall, Oxford OX3 0BW, UK) Vol.(Issue) 11, Page 661,1981 )

Guinea pig: 12 µg/kg (Ref: BICMBE Biochimie.(SPPIF, B.P.22, F-41353 Vineuil, France, Vol.(Issue)55,Page 1187, 1973)

Toxicity is much less when introduced via other routes of entry like Interdermal injection.

Fig.2 Introduction of fluorescein dextran of different molecular weights into resealed cells

A. HeLa cells were incubated with or without (2000 kDa dextran w/o SLO) 0.13 µg/ml SLO on ice for 5 min. After wash with PBS three times, the cells were further with transport buffer containing propidium iodide at 32°C for 5 min. Semi-intact HeLa cells were incubated with 1.5 mg/ml L5178Y cytosol, an ATP regenerating system, GTP, glucose, and 100 µg/ml fluoresceindextran of 3, 10, 40, 70, or 2000 kDa at 32°C for 15 min, and then were resealed by treatment with 1 mM CaCl2 at 32°C for 5 min. After incubation with DMEM supplemented with FCS for 30 min, the cells were observed by confocal microscopy. Since the cells without SLO treatment did not contain the fluorescence of propidium iodide, differential interference contrast (DIC) image was shown. Bar = 10 µm.   B. HeLa cells were treated as described in A, were trypsinized, and were subjected to flowcytometry. The histograms of fluorescein fluorescence of dextran with different molecular weight in PI-positive cells were shown. Data from Kano F. et al, PLoS One. 2012;7(8):e44127.
