Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) are known to be potent T cell activators, stimulating +/- proliferation and lymphokine production. These toxins have recently have been termed "superantigens" because of their ability to bind directly to class II molecules forming a ligand that interacts with part...
