Mutational effects on protein folding stability and antigenicity : the case of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin A

The influence of mutationally induced changes in protein folding on development of effective neutralizing antibodies during vaccination remains largely unexplored. In this study, we probed how mutational substitutions of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin A (SPEA), a model bacterial superantigen, affe...
