In vitro and in vivo T cell oligoclonality following chronic stimulation with staphylococcal superantigens

Microbial superantigens (SAg), including SEB and TSST-1, polyclonally activate T cells belonging to specific TCR BV families. A pathogenic role for SAg in various human diseases has been suggested, but enthusiasm for this view has been tempered by the T cell oligoclonality in these disorders. To ass...
