Abstract excerpt
In an attempt to define the binding of staphylococcal enterotoxin D (SED) to the T cell receptor Vbeta (TCR Vbeta) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules, site-directed mutagenesis has been used to introduce alanine substitutions at Asn23, Phe45, Leu59, Asn61, Ile92 and Phe203 in SED. SED-N23A (SEA with Asn23 replaced with alanine) and SED-F45A mutants exhibit a significantly reduced...
