Abstract excerpt
Superantigens produced by Staphylococcus aureus can cause food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome. The biological activities and vaccine potential of mutant staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) proteins, N23K and F44S, were studied in a lipopolysaccharide-potentiated mouse model. Although 10 micrograms of SEB per mouse is equivalent to 30 LD50, the same intraperitoneal dose of either mutant protein was nonlethal...
