Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A Shapes Monocyte Transcription and Macrophage Polarization: Implications for Immune Responses in Infection and Inflammation. [PDF]

open access: yesEur J Immunol
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.

Mild NaCl Stress Influences Staphylococcal Enterotoxin C Transcription in a Time-Dependent Manner and Reduces Protein Expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
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

Superantigens [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Dermatology, 1996
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
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 ...

Interactions between staphylococcal enterotoxins A and D and superantigen-like proteins 1 and 5 for predicting methicillin and multidrug resistance profiles among Staphylococcus aureus ocular isolates.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) S. aureus strains are well recognized as posing substantial problems in treating ocular infections. S.

Outbreak of severe acute hepatitis of unknown cause in children in 2022: analysis of plausible pathogenic mechanism

open access: yes陆军军医大学学报, 2023
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

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children and Long COVID: The SARS-CoV-2 Viral Superantigen Hypothesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a febrile pediatric inflammatory disease that may develop weeks after initial SARS-CoV-2 infection or exposure.

Interference of the T cell and antigen-presenting cell costimulatory pathway using CTLA4-Ig (abatacept) prevents Staphylococcal enterotoxin B pathology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2008
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
