Neutralization of staphylococcal enterotoxin B by an aptamer antagonist. [PDF]
Antimicrob Agents Chemother, 2015 ABSTRACT Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a major virulence factor for staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome (TSS). SEB activates a large subset of the T lymphocytic population, releasing proinflammatory cytokines. Blocking SEB-initiated toxicity may be an effective strategy for treating TSS.

A monoclonal antibody against staphylococcal enterotoxin B superantigen inhibits SARS-CoV-2 entry in vitro. [PDF]
Structure, 2021 We recently discovered a superantigen-like motif, similar to Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), near the S1/S2 cleavage site of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, which might explain the multisystem-inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) observed in children and cytokine

Regulation of staphylococcal enterotoxin B [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1977 The effect of glucose and the glucose analogues 2-deoxyglucose and alpha-methyl-glucoside on the synthesis and regulation of staphylococcal enterotoxin B was examined. The attenuating effect of glucose on staphylococcal enterotoxin B synthesis was observed.
