Neutralization 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 کاملPotent neutralization of staphylococcal enterotoxin B by synergistic action of chimeric antibodies.
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), a shock-inducing exotoxin synthesized by Staphylococcus aureus, is an important cause of food poisoning and is a class B bioterrorism agent. SEB mediates antigen-independent activation of a major subset of the T-cell population by cross-linking T-cell receptors (TCRs) with class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC-II) molecules of antigen-presenting cell...
متن کاملHighly Sensitive Colorimetric Biosensor for Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B by a Label-Free Aptamer and Gold Nanoparticles
A simple, sensitive and selective colorimetric biosensor for the detection of Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) was developed using SEB-binding aptamer (SEB2) as recognition element and unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as colorimetric probes. The assay is based on color change from red to purple due to conformational change of aptamer in the presence of SEB, and the phenomenon of salt-ind...

Frea, James I. (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Elizabeth McCoy, and F. M. Strong. Purification of type B staphylococcal enterotoxin. J. Bacteriol. 86:1308-1313. 1963.-A procedure for the production and isolation of type B staphylococcal enterotoxin in yields up to 4 mg per liter of toxic culture is presented. Staphylococcus aureus S6 was grown in shake flask cultures at 37 C for 24 hr in a ...
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 ...
