Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A Shapes Monocyte Transcription and Macrophage Polarization: Implications for Immune Responses in Infection and Inflammation. [PDF]
Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) alters monocyte differentiation and function, while preserving T cell stimulatory capacity. SEA‐primed macrophages downregulate antigen‐presenting markers yet drive heightened T‐cell proliferation and IFN‐γ secretion.

Enterotoxins (SEs) produced by Staphylococcus aureus are the cause of serious food intoxications. Staphylococcal enterotoxin C (SEC) is one of the main contributors, as it is often highly expressed. S. aureus possesses a competitive growth advantage over

Abstract Superantigens are potent modulators of the immune system. Some of their biological and immunological properties are reviewed here with special attention to their potential significance for cutaneous inflammation, specific skin immune responses and skin diseases.

Antigen-specific downregulation of miR-150 in CD4 T cells promotes cell survival
MicroRNA-150 (miR-150) has been shown to play a general role in the immune system, but very little is known about its role on CD4+ T cell responses. During T cell responses against superantigen Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A, miR-150 expression was down ...

As of November 2022, 22 countries in Europe have reported 572 cases of severe acute hepatitis in children with unknown causes. The most common pathogens tested are human adenovirus and SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the researchers have proposed hypotheses about

Interference of the T cell and antigen-presenting cell costimulatory pathway using CTLA4-Ig (abatacept) prevents Staphylococcal enterotoxin B pathology [PDF]
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a bacterial superantigen that binds the receptors in the APC/T cell synapse and causes increased proliferation of T cells and a cytokine storm syndrome in vivo.

T cell activation or tolerization: the Yin and Yang of bacterial superantigens
Bacterial superantigens are exotoxins from pathogens which interact with innate and adaptive immune cells. The paradox that superantigens cause activation and inactivation/anergy of T-cells was soon recognized.

Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B regulates prostaglandin E-2 synthesis, growth, and migration in nasal tissue fibroblasts [PDF]
Background. Superantigens and eicosanoids are important amplifiers and regulators of inflammation in airway diseases. We therefore studied the possible influence of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B ( SEB) on the cyclooxygenase ( COX) pathway and basic
