Superantigens: Just Like Peptides Only Different
T he exotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are prototype molecules for the larger family of superantigens (SAGs). This family now includes many structurally unrelated molecules of disparate origins reflecting a wide evolutionary convergence towards the common goal of subverting T cell antigen recognition. SAGs bind simultaneously to MHC class II molecules and TC...

متن کاملInhibition of bacterial superantigens by peptides and antibodies.
The pyrogenic exotoxins of group A streptococci and staphylococcal enterotoxins are a family of structurally related superantigens with similar biological activity. Two distinct areas have been identified which have a highly conserved amino acid homology in all of the toxin families. A number of peptides were constructed from these regions, some of which were concatenated and polymerized to enh...
متن کاملWhy the Internet only just works
The core Internet protocols have not changed significantly in more than a decade, in spite of exponential growth in the number of Internet users and the speed of the fastest links. The requirements placed on the net are also changing, as digital convergence finally occurs. Will the Internet cope gracefully with all this change, or are the cracks already beginning to show? In this paper I examin...
متن کامل‘The Rich Are Just Like Us Only Richer’ Poverty Functions or Consumptions Functions?
The concept of a poverty function is introduced, modelling the shortfall of household consumption from the poverty line as a function of reduced form determinants such as human capital and land holdings. The model is estimated using a tobit and data from Uganda. Parameters from the model are found to be similar to those from consumption functions, indicating that the poor receive comparable rat...
