Laboratory Exposures to Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B
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 ...
متن کاملNature and reactivity of staphylococcal enterotoxin A monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies from four clones (C5, C3, B2II, and B2I) directed against staphylococcal enterotoxin A were tested by the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and double-gel immunodiffusion (micro-Ouchterlony) assay for the nature of heavy and light chain types. The reactivities of monoclonal antibodies were also tested by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with various leve...
متن کاملMurine monoclonal antibodies against staphylococcal enterotoxin B: production and characterization.
A group of 14 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) were obtained by fusion of Sp2/O myeloma cells with spleen cells from female BALB/c mice immunized with commercial SEB. The antibodies belonged to IgG1 and IgG2b subclasses. We evaluated the anti-SEB titres, competition assays and sensitivity of detection by indirect ELISA. Reactivity and cross-reactivity were also...
متن کاملStaphylococcal enterotoxin microbial superantigens.
Staphylococcal enterotoxins are a family of structurally related proteins that are produced by Staphylococcus aureus. In addition to their role in the pathogenicity of food poisoning, these microbial superantigens have profound effects on the immune system, which makes them useful tools for understanding its mechanism of action. These molecules (24-30 kDa) are highly hydrophilic and exhibit low...
متن کاملA DNA Spiegelmer to staphylococcal enterotoxin B.
Bacterial staphylococcal enterotoxin B is involved in several severe disease patterns and it was therefore used as a target for the generation of biologically stable mirror-image oligonucleotide ligands, so called Spiegelmers. The toxin is a 28 kDa protein consisting of 239 amino acids. Since the full-length protein is not accessible to chemical peptide synthesis, a stable domain of 25 amino ac...
