We have cloned the Staphylococcus aureus entB gene in Escherichia coli, using pBR322 as the vector plasmid; however, no detectable staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) was produced by the E. coli clones. When the entB gene was placed downstream from the strong lambda phage promoter, PR, SEB was synthesized at readily detectable levels in E. coli. Interestingly, mature SEB was almost exclusively p...
This study had two aims: 1) to determine whether there are differences between atopic dermatitis (AD) patients and healthy subjects in staphylococcal superantigen (SsAg)-induced CD4(+) T cell activation, cytokine production, chemokine receptor expression, and apoptosis; and 2) to investigate the effect of IL-4 on SsAg-induced apoptosis. By using immunofluorescence and annexin V staining, we ana...
This study was conducted to examine the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of dexamethasone during leukocyte recruitment and expression of the CXC chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2) (CXCL2) and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (KC) (CXCL1) in staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB)-induced acute inflammation. To do this, SEB was injected into murine air pouches with or without...
Type 1 diabetes (T1D), an autoimmune disease, can be protected against by natural killer T (NKT) cells. Several attempts demonstrate that NKT cells also can be produced by inducing with Staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) in addition to its classical activated antigen α-galactosylceramide. Here, we examined a potential usage of SEB-induced T (SEB-T) cells for the treatment of T1D. We established...
BACKGROUND Staphylococcal enterotoxins are considered potential biowarfare agents that can be spread through ingestion or inhalation. Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a widely studied superantigen that can directly stimulate T-cells to release a massive amount of proinflammatory cytokines by bridging the MHC II molecules on an antigen presenting cell (APC) and the Vβ chains of the T-cell r...
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a select agent because it is a potent mitogen that elicits life-threatening polyclonal T-cell proliferation and cytokine production at very low concentrations. Efforts are in progress to develop therapeutic reagents and vaccines that neutralize or prevent the devastating effects of this toxin. Because of its rapid binding to in vivo receptors, this toxin is...
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) has been demonstrated to be of importance in Staphylococcus aureus related diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Dysregulated apoptosis in AD is remarkable, and SEB can induce apoptosis of various cell types. However, the mechanisms by which SEB induces apoptosis and influences disease processes remain unclear. In this study, the recombinant SEB-induced TH...
We used CD28-deficient mice to analyze the importance of CD28 costimulation for the response against Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in vivo. CD28 was necessary for the strong expansion of V beta 8+ T cells, but not for deletion. The lack of expansion was not due to a failure of SEB to activate V beta 8+ T cells, as V beta 8+ T cells from both CD28-/- and CD28+/+ mice showed similar phenotyp...
Staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) is one of the most prevalent causes of food-borne illness throughout the world. SFP is caused by 21 different types of staphylococcal enterotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus. Among these, staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is the most potent toxin and is a listed biological warfare (BW) agent. Therefore, development of immunological reagents for detect...
T-cell stimulating activity of Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is an important factor in the pathogenesis of certain staphylococcal diseases including SEB mediated shock. SEB is one of the most potent superantigens known and treatment of SEB induced shock remains a challenge. We generated and characterized murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to SEB in mice. We tested mAbs neutralize mitogeni...
