Superantigen Protocols assembles experimental protocols that have proved useful for the study of superantigens. These techniques will allow researchers from various areas of cell biology, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to assess the physical characteristics and biological effects of well-known superantigens as well as of putative substances that might have superantigenic activities, and to explore therapies for superantig- induced effects. Microbial exotoxins have been studied for decades as virulence factors because of their pathogenic effects. The term "superantigen" was coined by Marrack and Kappler a decade ago for some of these molecules because of their potent T-cell stimulatory activities. ... Read more

Reviews for Superantigen Protocols
"...sufficient experimental detail is provided so as to allow experienced investigators to use the described techniques. A suitable bibliography accompanies each chapter. Beyond their involvement in human pathology, the molecular mechanism of action of this class of molecules (binding both to antigen presenting cells and T-lymphocytes) may provide useful clues regarding human immune responses. Accordingly, this book is a timely ... Read more
