γ Irradiation of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B [PDF]
The inactivation of enterotoxin B by γ irradiation was studied by use of single-and double-gel-diffusion assay techniques. Enterotoxin B (99+% purity) was suspended either in 0.04 m Veronal buffer ( p H 7.2) or in milk, dispensed and heat-sealed in borosilicate glass vials, and irradiated ...

Staphylococcus aureus superantigens (SAgs) such as staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) and B (SEB) are potent toxins stimulating T cells to produce high levels of inflammatory cytokines, thus causing toxic shock and sepsis.

Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B: Solid-Phase Radioimmunoassay [PDF]
An immunoassay employing 125 I-labeled enterotoxin B and polystyrene tubes coated with specific antibody was used for assaying purified and crude enterotoxin. Antibody was adsorbed to untreated polystyrene tubes.

Background Infections in communities and hospitals are mostly caused by Staphylococcus aureus strains. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of five genes (SEA, SEB, SEC, SED and SEE) encoding staphylococcal enterotoxins in S. aureus isolates from

Transport and processing of staphylococcal enterotoxin B [PDF]
A larger, membrane-bound form of staphylococcal enterotoxin B was shown by in vivo pulse-chase analysis to be the kinetic precursor to extracellular enterotoxin B. Processing of the enterotoxin B precursor molecules can apparently occur either cotranslationally or posttranslationally.

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B-derived haptens promote sensitization [PDF]
T helper 2 (Th2) polarization is a major pathological feature in allergic diseases; its etiology is not fully understood. This study aims to elucidate the adjuvant effect of the microbial product-derived small peptides in the initiation of antigen-specific Th2 polarization.

Exposure to bacterial superantigens, such as staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), can lead to the induction of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). To date, there are no known effective treatments for SEB-induced inflammation.
