Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureIngestion (4) ; inhalation (4) ; dermal (4)
Mechanism of ToxicityStreptolysin O binds to cholesterol on eukaryotic cell membranes, then is able to lyse them. (2)
MetabolismFree toxin may be removed by opsonization via the reticuloendothelial system (primarily the liver and kidneys) or it may be degraded through cellular internalization via the lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of digestive enzymes, including several proteases.
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 8 ug/mg (Intravenous, Mouse) (1)
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
