Caveolin 1 restricts Group A<i>Streptococcus</i>invasion of nonphagocytic host cells Open
Caveolae are composed of 2 major proteins, caveolin 1 (CAV1) and cavin 1 or polymerase transcript release factor I (CAVIN1). Here, we demonstrate that CAV1 levels modulate invasion of Group A Streptococcus (GAS) into nonphagocytic mammalia…
