Anti-Staphylococcal Enterotoxi

RNase Protection Assay for the Study of the Differential Effects of Therapeutic Agents in Suppressing Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B-Induced Cytokines i

Staphylococcal exotoxins (SE) are among the most common etiological agents that cause toxic shock (1 ). Similar to other superantigens, SE activates T cells polyclonally by binding simultaneously to specific Vβ regions of T-cell receptors (TCR

T-Lymphocyte Activation Induced by Staphylococcal Enterotoxin Superantigens: Analysis of Protein Tyrosine Phosphorylation

Staphylococcus enterotoxin superantigens (SAgs) have the capacity to strongly activate oligoclonal populations of T lymphocytes expressing T-cell antigen receptors (TCR) that share particular Vβ elements. These superantigens stimulate T

T-Cell Cytotoxicity Assays for Studying the Functional Interaction Between the Superantigen Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A and T-Cell Receptors

The superantigens (SAgs) staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are produced by certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus and comprise structurally related bacterial proteins, which are among the most potent mitogens known for murine and human T
