Rapid quantitative serological assay of staphylococcal enterotoxin B.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple, rapid method, based on the Oudin single diffusion technique, is described for the quantitative assay of staphylococcal enterotoxin B. The method yields reproducible results without close control of such assay variables as temperature, antiserum dilution, and assay time, provided that the ionic strength is maintained above 0.2 n sodium chloride equivalent.

Rapid, sensitive assay for staphylococcal enterotoxin and a comparison of serological methods.
Reversed passive hemagglutination was used to assay enterotoxin in culture filtrates and in food samples. With cells tanned and then sensitized with antitoxin globulin and preserved with either formaldehyde or pyruvic aldehyde, as little as 0.0007 mug of enterotoxin was detectable. The results of hemagglutination tests compared well with those obtained by quantitative precipitin tests or by imm...

Background: Staphylococcal superantigens (SAg;aposs) may have some role in otitis media with effusion (OME). The aim of this study was the search of staphylococcal SAg;aposs in middle ear effusion of children with OME. Methods: This cross sectional-analytic study was done in ENT & pediatric wards upon 64 children with otitis media with effusion (OME) between 1-15 years, (mean age=7.42+4 years)...
متن کاملInfluence of pH on the heat inactivation of staphylococcal enterotoxin A as determined by monkey feeding and serological assay.
The effect of pH on the thermal inactivation of staphylococcal enterotoxin A was investigated. Analysis of heated toxin by immunodiffusion in gel indicated that enterotoxin A in beef bouillon was inactivated faster at pH 5.3 than at pH 6.2. The z values (slopes) for the heat inactivation curves at pH 6.2 and 5.3 were 49.5 and 55 F (about 27 and 30 C), respectively. Enterotoxin produced and heat...
متن کاملSensitive, Rapid, Quantitative and in Vitro Method for the Detection of Biologically Active Staphylococcal Enterotoxin Type E
Staphylococcus aureus is a major bacterial cause of clinical infections and foodborne illnesses through its production of a group of enterotoxins (SEs) which cause gastroenteritis and also function as superantigens to massively activate T cells. In the present study, we tested Staphylococcal enterotoxin type E (SEE), which was detected in 17 of the 38 suspected staphylococcal food poisoning inc...

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies among women. Patients whose suffering from this condition, as a result of the use of conventional therapies often have a poor response to treatment and the relapse among them is frequent. In this study, the effects of staphylococcal enterotoxin type B on BAK، FAS، BAX، TNF-a، BCL-2 و Survivin genes expression in human breast ...
