Streptolysin
Streptolysin is a streptococcal hemolytic exotoxin. Types include Streptolysin O, which is oxygen-labile, and Streptolysin S, which is oxygen-stable. An antibody, anti-streptolysin O, can be detected in an antistreptolysin O titre. Streptolysin O is hemolytically active only in a reversibly reduced state unlike Streptolysin S which is stable in the presence of oxygen. Another difference is that that SLO is antigenic while SLS is non antigenic due to its small size.
