Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is both a superantigen and toxin. As a superantigen, SEB can bind to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules to form a ligand for ot/B T cell receptors bearing particular VB elements. As a toxin, SEB causes rapid weight loss in mice sometimes leading to death. We show here that both of these functions map to the NH2-terminal portion of the to...
When exposed to stress conditions, all cells induce mechanisms resulting in an attempt to adapt to stress that involve proteins which, once activated, trigger cell responses by modulating specific signaling pathways. In this work, using a combination of pulldown assays and mass spectrometry analyses, we identified the Neurospora crassa SEB-1 transcription factor that binds to the Stress Respons...
Power electronic devices are susceptible to catastrophic failures when they are exposed to energetic particles; the most serious failure mechanism is single event burnout (SEB). SEB is a widely recognized problem for space applications, but it also may affect devices in terrestrial applications. This phenomenon has been studied in detail for power MOSFETs, but much less is known about the mecha...
Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B release (excretion) under controlled conditions of fermentation.
Release of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) into the culture medium was initiated during the mid-log phase of growth. A medium consisting of 4% N-Z Amine A (Sheffield), 0.2% dextrose, and 1% yeast extract supported maximum production of SEB. Although pH of the medium during cultivation did not significantly affect the growth curve of the organism, the time required for detectable excre...
OBJECTIVES It has been proposed that microbial persistence, superantigen (SA) production, and host T-cell response may be involved in the development of chronic rhinosinusitis. According to the SA hypothesis, a single intranasal application of SA such as staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) may induce chronic eosinophilic rhinosinusitis. This study aimed to develop a rat model of rhinosinusitis i...
BACKGROUND Superantigens and eicosanoids are important amplifiers and regulators of inflammation in airway diseases. We therefore studied the possible influence of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) on the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway and basic functions of airway structural cells. METHODS Fibroblasts were isolated from nasal inferior turbinate tissue and cultured in the presence of di...
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a bacterial superantigen that binds to major histocompatibility complex class II molecules and selectively interacts with T cells that bear certain T cell receptor (TCR) V beta domains. Administration of SEB in adult mice results in initial proliferation of V beta 8+ T cells followed by a state of unresponsiveness resulting from a combination of clonal dele...
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes secrete exotoxins that act as superantigens, proteins that cause hyperimmune reactions by binding the variable domain of the T-cell receptor beta chain (Vβ), leading to stimulation of a large fraction of the T-cell repertoire. To develop potential neutralizing agents, we engineered Vβ mutants with high affinity for the superantigens staphylococca...
The role of the CD4 molecule in activation of T-helper cells was examined by investigating the effect of an anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody (Leu3a) in conventional peptide antigen-specific cloned T-helper cells that are also reactive to staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). These T-helper cell clones are CD4+/CD45RO+/T-cell antigen receptor beta-chain variable region 12-positive and can respond to n...
Staphylococcal enterotoxins are 23- to 29-kDa polypeptides in the bacterial superantigen protein family. Clinical symptoms from intoxication with staphylococcal enterotoxins vary by exposure route. Ingestion results in gastrointestinal symptoms, and inhalation results in fever as well as pulmonary and gastrointestinal symptoms. Review of occupational exposures at the U.S. Army Medical Research ...
