Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) antibody levels in Japanese children

Burns, 2010
Children with burns have a greater risk of developing toxic shock syndrome (TSS) than adults. This risk is thought to be associated with colonisation by toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1)-producing Staphylococcus aureus in children with insufficient antibody titers.

Structure of toxic shock syndrome toxin 1

Biochemistry, 1993
The three-dimensional structure of toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) from Staphylococcus aureus has been determined and refined to an R value of 0.226 for data between 8- and 2.5-A resolution. Overall, the structure of TSST-1 is similar to that of another superantigen, staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB).

Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 inhibits monocyte apoptosis

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1999
Chronic atopic dermatitis (AD) lesions are associated with colonization by exotoxin-producing Staphylococcus aureus. Evidence suggests that cytokine production in AD, particularly of GM-CSF, prolongs survival of both peripheral blood monocytes and dermal monocyte-macrophages, the predominate inflammatory cell in lesions caused by chronic AD.We sought ...

Latex agglutination test for staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome toxin 1

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1986
A reversed passive latex agglutination method, in which latex particles were sensitized with specific anti-toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) immunoglobulin, was found to be a simple and sensitive method for the detection of TSST-1 production by Staphylococcus aureus strains. The minimum amount of TSST-1 detectable was approximately 1.0 ng/ml. Of 41

Mutations Affecting the Activity of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1

Biochemistry, 1994
Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), the potent staphylococcal exoprotein linked to most cases of the toxic shock syndrome, is a V beta-restricted T-cell mitogen (a so-called "superantigen"). TSST-ovine (TSST-O) is a natural variant of TSST-1, and is produced by certain ovine mastitis-associated strains of Staphylococcus aureus.

Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1, Toxic Shock, and the Immune System

1991
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a severe multisystem disorder characterized by high fever, hypotension, generalized erythroderma, desquamation of the skin, and dysfunction of multiple organ systems (Chesney 1989; Davis et al. 1980; Todd et al. 1978).

Purification and Purity Assessment of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin 1

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1989
Toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) was partially purified from culture supernatants by SP-Sephadex C-25 ion-exchange chromatography and subsequent Sephadex G-75 gel filtration. This protein had an apparent molecular weight of 24,000 and an isoelectric point of 7.0.

Risk of Developing Toxic Shock Syndrome Associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin 1 Following Nongenital Staphylococcal Infection

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1989
Few risk factors for nonmenstrual toxic shock syndrome (TSS) have been identified. This study sought to determine at what rate and under what circumstances nongenital toxigenic Staphylococcus aureus infections led to TSS. Clinical isolates of S. aureus were examined for the production of TSS toxin 1 (TSST-1), and available sera from infected patients ...
