Abstract excerpt
We have utilized a severe combined immune-deficient (SCID) mouse adoptive transfer model to explore the in vivo immunostimulatory effects of bacterial superantigens (SAg). B cell reconstituted SCID recipients were treated with the Staphylococcus aureus-derived toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1) alone or in conjunction with syngeneic L3T4+ TSST-1-reactive Th cells. Over several months of study, the repetitive...
