Specific immuno capturing of the Staphylococcal superantigen toxic‐shock syndrome toxin‐1 in plasma

Abstract excerpt

Toxic-shock syndrome is primarily caused by the Toxic-shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1), which is secreted by the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The toxin belongs to a family of superantigens (SAgs) which exhibit several shared biological properties, including the induction of massive cytokine release and V(beta)-specific T-cell proliferation. In this study we explored the possibility to use...
