MODULATION OF ALLERGIC SENSITIZATION AND ALLERGIC INFLAMMATION BY STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ENTEROTOXIN B IN AN OVALBUMIN MOUSE MODEL

Modulation of Allergic Sensitization and Allergic Inflammation by Staphylococcus aureus Enterotoxin B in an Ovalbumin Mouse Model

The superantigen Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) enterotoxin B (SEB) has been proposed a central player in the associations between S.aureus nasal colonization and the development of allergic asthma.Previously, SEB has been shown to aggravate allergic sensitization and allergic airway inflammation (AAI) in experimental mouse models.Aiming at under
