Abstract excerpt
Exotoxins produced by certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus are able to both stimulate and induce non-responsiveness in T cells expressing specific T cell antigen receptor V beta gene elements. The exposure of human CD4+ T cells to the appropriate enterotoxin rendered them anergic to restimula...
