- Kevin:
-
- If it were me, I'd go for superantigens myself. It's facinating how SA's
- skirt around the specificity of the immune system and stimulate T cells
- that only bear a particular V-beta element. I'd keep the discussion
- limited to bacterial SA's as viral SA's are a bit more complex.
-
- Start with Anal. Rev. Immunology 1991 with Kappler and Marrack. Do a
- medline on either one, and on superantigens (as a subject) itself. After
- that, there will be more than enough info to get you going...
-
- Happy searching!
