Inhibition of Bacterial Superantigens by Peptides and Antibodies
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
The pyrogenic exotoxins of group A streptococci and staphylococcal enterotoxins are a family of structurally related superantigens with similar biological activity. Two distinct areas have been identified which have a highly conserved amino acid homology in all of the toxin families. A number of peptides were constructed from these regions, some of which were concatenated and polymerized to enhance their...
