Abstract excerpt
infection. We determined the Vβ T cell activation profile for all functional SAgs encoded by RF122, revealing evidence for bovine host-specific activity among the recently identified RF122-encoded SAgs SElY and SElZ. Remarkably, we discovered that some strains have evolved the capacity to stimulate the entire T cell repertoire of cattle through an array of diverse SAgs, suggesting a key role in bovine immune evasion.
