Unique superantigen activity of staphylococcal exfoliative toxins.
Certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus express one or both of two related, but immunologically distinct, exfoliative toxins (ETA and ETB). These toxins induce the symptoms associated with staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. Both ETs have been shown to stimulate T cell proliferation. Recently, it was reported that ETA is a superantigen that stimulates T cells bearing human Vbeta2 or several ...
متن کاملCellulolytic Activity of Clostridium acetobutylicum.
Clostridium acetobutylicum NRRL B527 and ATCC 824 exhibited extracellular and cell-bound endoglucanase and cellobiase activities during growth in a chemically defined medium with cellobiose as the sole source of carbohydrate. For both strains, the endoglucanase was found to be mainly extracellular (70 to 90%) during growth in continuous or batch cultures with the pH maintained at 5.2, whereas t...
متن کاملProteolytic processing is required for viral superantigen activity
The mouse mammary tumor virus-7 superantigen (vSAG7) is proteolytically processed in B cells at as many as three positions. Proteolytic processing appears to be important for superantigen activity because a processed form of vSAG7 was predominant among those forms that were found to bind to major histocompatibility complex class II molecules. To determine the functional significance of proteoly...
متن کاملOn Detectable and Non-detectable Structural Change
A range of parameter changes in I(1) cointegrated time series are not reflected in econometric models thereof, in that many shifts are not easily detected by conventional tests. The breaks in question are changes that leave the unconditional expectations of the I(0) components unaltered. Thus, dynamics, adjustment speeds etc. may alter without detection. However, shifts in long-run means are ge...
متن کاملLocalization of lecithinase activity in Clostridium perfringens.
The lecithinase of Clostridium perfringens is an exoenzyme (3). However, lecithinase activity was demonstrated in cytoplasmic extracts obtained from mechanically disrupted vegetative cells of type A C. perfringens (4). This report deals with the intracellular and extracellular lecithinase activities of vegetative cells and spores of type A C. perfringens. Strain BP6K (1), which produces conside...
