Mitogenicity of formalinized toxoids of staphylococcal enterotoxin B.
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B is a potent mitogen for mouse and human lymphocytes. Mitogenic activity was retained after detoxification of the enterotoxin by formaldehyde at pH 5.0, 7.5, OR 9.5. The most active toxoid (pH 7.5) was separated into a monomeric, a dimeric, and a polymeric fraction (1 x 10(5) to 3 x 10(5) molecular weight) by gel filtration, and although each fraction demonstrated mi...
متن کاملNeutralization of Staphylococcal enterotoxin B by aptamer
12 Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a major virulence factor for 13 Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome (TSS). SEB activates a large subset of the T 14 lymphocytic population, releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Blocking 15 SEB-initiated toxicity may be an effective strategy for treating TSS. Using a 16 systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) process, we 17 iden...

متن کاملHydrogen ion equilibrai of staphylococcal enterotoxin B.
Potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations of staphylococcal enterotoxin B have been carried out in 0.16 M KC1 at 25”. Potentiometric titration results indicate that the titration curves are essentially reversible between pH 1.50 and 11.0. All of the ionizable groups in enterotoxin B found from the titration curves are consistent with the amino acid composition which has been reported in ...
متن کاملGenetic Fingerprinting of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), an exotoxin produced by staphylococcal aureus, is commonly associated with food poisoning and capable of triggering flu-like symptoms resembling those of endotoxins – such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) released from gram-negative bacterial cell walls. By comparing the host response to these distinct toxins on a genetic level, a set of genes can be identified to...
