Interaction of Staphylococcus aureus toxin "superantigens" with human T cells
1Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Division of Basic Immunology, Denver, CO.
Abstract:
A modification of the polymerase chain reaction has been used to establish the fact that a collection of Staphylococcus aureus toxins are "superantigens," each of which interacts with the T-cell alpha beta receptor of human T cells by means of a specific set of V beta elements.
