Superantigens, superantigen-like proteins and superantigen derivatives for cancer treatment.
European review for medical and pharmacological sciences, 2021 Bacterial superantigens (SAgs) are proteins produced by few types of bacteria that have been linked to several human diseases. Due to their potent in vitro and in vivo tumoricidal effects, they are extensively investigated for oncological applications either alone or in combination with classical anticancer drugs.
