Abstract excerpt
The T-cell-stimulating activity of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is an important factor in the pathogenesis of certain staphylococcal diseases. To investigate the immunologically active domains of the SEB molecule, we have produced truncated fragments of recombinant SEB by C-terminal and N-terminal deletions. The fragments were expressed as fusion proteins with protein A, including a cleavage site to remove...
