Protective and nonprotective epitopes of chemically synthesized peptides of the NH2-terminal region of type 6 streptococcal M protein.

The paper refers to amino acid positions of the mature protein as opposed to the precursor. The response was strong in two of three rabbits.本研究涉及的论文中，所提及的氨基酸位点均针对成熟蛋白（mature protein），而非其前体蛋白（precursor）。三只受试家兔中有两只的应答反应显著。
