Application
TSST-1 has been used for superantigen stimulation in T cells. Furthermore, studies have reported that TSST-1 can induce TNF-α secretion in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)4,5.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Superantigen for T-lymphocytes.
Preparation Note
Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) is soluble in water at 0.50 - 0.60 mg/ml and yields a clear to slightly hazy, colorless to faint yellow solution.

Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by several cell types, including T cells upon antigen stimulation. Its production is crucial for the development of an early defence against many pathogens, but its beneficial effects are dependent on

The superantigen toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST)-1 can induce tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha expression in T cells and monocytes, through different signaling pathways. We have stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells with TSST-1 and found that the major cell producers of

Toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1), a 22-kilodalton protein made by strains of Staphylococcus aureus harboring the chromosomal toxin gene, may elicit toxic shock syndrome in humans. In vitro, TSST-1 induces T cells to proliferate and macrophages to secrete interleukin-1.

The aim of study was to develop a rapid assay, dye labelled monoclonal antibody assay (DLMAA), using non-radioactive organic synthetic dyes for identification of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The assay protocol required only two
