Fibronectin enhances transfection of Staphylococcus aureus

N E Thompson et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1985 Nov.

Abstract

The factor in normal sera primarily responsible for the enhancement of transfection (and transformation) of Staphylococcus aureus was identified as fibronectin. Serum samples which were depleted of fibronectin by affinity chromatography showed a marked decrease in enhancing activity. Fibronectin isolated from sera of several animal species demonstrated enhancing activity.
