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).

Modulatory Effects of Staphylococcal Superantigen TSST-1 on IGE Synthesis in Atopic Dermatitis

Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology, 1995
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disorder associated with elevated serum IgE and colonization of the skin by Staphylococi which secrete toxins with superantigenic activity. The present study examined the immunomodulatory effects of toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST)-1, a prototypic superantigen, on IgE synthesis by interleukin (IL)-4-stimulated ...

Vβ Specificity of Superantigen TSST-1 Plus CD28 Costimulation Without APCs

Immunological Investigations, 1996
Little has so far been known about the role of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the activation of T cells by superantigens. Recently several studies showed that superantigens could directly activate purified T cells in the presence of CD28 costimulation.

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).

A modified ELISA for the detection of toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1) in staphylococcal isolates

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Series A: Medical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Virology, Parasitology, 1988
A modified ELISA for the detection of S. aureus strains producing toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1) is described. Polystyrene balls are coated with specific sheep antibody and incubated with an over-night culture of suspected colonies. Biotinylated second antibody and an Avidin/biotinylated enzyme system are used to obtain an easily readable ...

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

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 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.

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.
