Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2020 Staphylococci are the main cause of nosocomial infections globally. The exotoxin staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) produced by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of pathology after a staphylococcal infection.

Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Sub‐Committee is an international body of experts that maintains the systematic nomenclature of allergenic proteins by assigning official names to newly identified allergens submitted by researchers. Here, we summarize the data on new allergens approved between 2021 and 2024.

Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus Molecular Biology and Oncogenesis
Viruses, 2010 Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), which was discovered as a milk‑transmitted, infectious cancer-inducing agent in the 1930s, has been used since that time as an animal model for the study of human breast cancer.

Allergic Sensitization to Inhalant Allergens in the Upper Respiratory Tract—the B Cell Side
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Allergic diseases are on the rise worldwide, driven by respiratory epithelial barrier dysfunction that promotes sensitization to inhalant allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and fungal spores. These antigens trigger IgE‐mediated immune responses that lead to diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma.

Acta agriculturae Slovenica, 1998 Superantigens are bacterial, viral, retroviral and some naturally occurring proteins that can specifically activate a large proportion of T and/or B cells. In contrast to classical peptide antigen recognition, superantigens do not require processing to small peptides.

Regulation of T cell lymphokine production by killer cell inhibitory receptor recognition of self HLA class I alleles. [PDF]
, 1996 The killer cell inhibitory receptors (KIRs) are surface glycoproteins expressed by natural killer (NK) and T cells that specifically recognize defined groups of polymorphic human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules.

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.Summary Background: Erysipelas, caused by streptococci, should be treated with penicillin, while uncomplicated cellulitis (phlegmon), often caused by Staphylococcus aureus, requires penicillinase‐resistant beta‐lactam antibiotics, which have a higher risk of adverse effects. Distinguishing between these infections is important.

Superantigens Modulate Bacterial Density during Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Colonization
Toxins, 2015 Superantigens (SAgs) are potent microbial toxins that function to activate large numbers of T cells in a T cell receptor (TCR) Vβ-specific manner, resulting in excessive immune system activation.

Human Keratinocyte Response to Superantigens
mSphere, 2020 Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are significant human pathogens, causing infections at multiple body sites, including across the skin. Both are organisms that cause human diseases and secrete superantigens, including toxic shock syndrome
