In vivo activation of T-cell induction into the primed phenotype and programmed cell death by staphylococcal enterotoxin B.

Scandinavian journal of immunology - 1 May 1996

Abstract excerpt

The authors demonstrate that SEB immunization activates V beta 8+ T cells and induces the acquisition of the primed phenotype as defined previously by low MEL-14 and high Pgp-1 expression. SEB-activated spleen CD4+ and CD8V beta 8+ T cells have different population dynamics and regulate the expre...
