Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a member of a family of gram-positive bacterial exotoxins which act as superantigens in both mouse and man. The administration of this toxin has been shown to inhibit antibody responses in vivo. We have previously shown that SEB is a potent inducer in vitro of multiple T suppressor cell populations. The present studies show that administration of microgram quantities of this...
