Antibodies against toxic shock syndrome toxin No. 1 (TSST-1) in Poland

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Series A: Medical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Virology, Parasitology, 1989
A total of 174 sera from healthy Polish individuals of different age groups were tested for TSST-1 antibody by the micro-ELISA method. Over 90% of sera contained the antibody with titres equal to above 1:10(2), even in children and adolescents. The data suggest that the majority of the Polish population acquires TSST-1-antibody during early childhood ...

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.

Subsets of HLA-DR1 Molecules Defined by SEB and TSST-1 Binding

Science, 1994
Superantigens bind to major histocompatibility complex class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells and stimulate T cells. Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) bind to the same region of human lymphocyte antigen (HLA)-DR1 but do not compete with each other, which ...

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

Burns, 1999
Young children with burns are at risk of developing a toxic shock-like illness during the first 2-3 days after the injury. The staphylococcal exotoxin, toxic-shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) is implicated in development of this illness. Low levels or absence of anti-TSST-1 antibodies may indicate susceptibility to this illness.

Co-production of staphylococcal enterotoxin A with toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) enhances TSST-1 mediated mortality in a D-galactosamine sensitized mouse model of lethal shock

Microbial Pathogenesis, 1999
It has previously been reported that staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is frequently co-expressed with toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) in menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome (MTSS)-associated Staphylococcus aureus. It was hypothesized that co-production of SEA and TSST-1 might yield a more virulent strain than one that produced TSST-1 but not SEA. To

Screening of staphylococci for the toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) gene

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 1991
Dot blot hybridization was used to screen 820 staphylococci for the presence of the gene coding for TSST-1. The DNA of 33 strains among 70 Staph. aureus strains isolated from suspected toxic shock syndrome (TSS) cases hybridized with the probe. These results agreed perfectly with those obtained with a phenotypic method (immunodiffusion).

Humanized mice mount specific adaptive and innate immune responses to EBV and TSST-1

Nature Medicine, 2006
Here we show that transplantation of autologous human hematopoietic fetal liver CD34+ cells into NOD/SCID mice previously implanted with human fetal thymic and liver tissues results in long-term, systemic human T-cell homeostasis. In addition, these mice show systemic repopulation with human B cells, monocytes and macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs).

Control of Production of Toxic-Shock-Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) by Magnesium Ion

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1985
A typographical error appeared in "The Relative Role of Bacterial Cell Wall and Capsule in the Induction of Inflammation in Pneumococcal Meningitis" by Elaine Tuomanen et al. (March 1985). The second sentence of the legend for figure 3 on page 538 is incomplete and should appear as follows: . . .

Toxic shock syndrome associated with TSST-1 producing coagulase-negative staphylococci.

The American journal of the medical sciences, 1986
Coagulase-positive staphylococci have been isolated from more than 95% of cases of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) is produced in more than 90% of cases. A case is described of recurrent TSS in which a coagulase-negative staphylococcus was isolated from the vagina and produced TSST-1.
