Staphylococcal superantigens evoke temporary and reversible T cell anergy, but fail to block the development of a bacterium specific cellular immune response
Abstract Superantigens (sAgs) are bacterial virulence factors that induce a state of immune hyperactivation by forming a bridge between certain subsets of T cell receptor (TCR) β chains on T lymphocytes, and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC-II) molecules; this cross-linking leads to in...
