Descripción

General description

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram positive bacterium, that cause diseases in human population including food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome. S. aureus expresses several secreted virulence factors, such as various enzymes, cytotoxins, exotoxins, and exfoliative toxins. Exotoxins include more than 20 serologically classified staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), the best characterize are the SEs A, B through V and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), these enterotoxins are similar in activity, sequence, structure and molecular weight (~25-30 kDa).
Mainly SEA but also SEB are known as superantigens due to their ability to bind class II MHC molecules on antigen presenting cells and stimulate extensive T-cells activation followed by massive cytokine release leading to an acute toxic shock.
SE proteins have a significant resistance to heat and acid, it is also resistant to gastrointestinal proteases including pepsin, trypsin, rennin and papain. Thus, killing the S. aureus bacteria may not be sufficient to eliminate these superantigens risk from causing food poisoning.
As described in various researches, detection of SEA contamination is a major challenge in the food industry, including milk and cooked food products.
SEA high affinity to MHC class II receptors on antigen presenting cells and tissues, followed by the excessive systemic immune activation, was applied in attempts to use bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) genetically fused to SEA as a T-cell stimulator. The SEA activation resulted in a non-specific activation of MHC class II-positive tissues which causes side-effects. Mutated SEA, D227A was developed to reduce the adverse effects for directing activated T-cells toward tumor cells.
