Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 from Staphylococcus aureus
Synonym(s):
Staphylococcal Enterotoxin F, TSST-1
composition
Contains ~50% protein (Lowry); balance primarily sodium chloride and sodium phosphate buffer.

not available in USA
solubility
H2O: soluble 0.50-0.60 mg/mL, clear to slightly hazy, colorless to faintly yellow
storage temp.
−20°C
Quality Level
Application
TSST-1 has been used for superantigen stimulation in T cells. Furthermore, studies have reported that TSST-1 can induce TNF-α secretion in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)4,5.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Superantigen for T-lymphocytes.
Preparation Note
Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) is soluble in water at 0.50 - 0.60 mg/ml and yields a clear to slightly hazy, colorless to faint yellow solution.

Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by several cell types, including T cells upon antigen stimulation. Its production is crucial for the development of an early defence against many pathogens, but its beneficial effects are dependent on

Toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1), a 22-kilodalton protein made by strains of Staphylococcus aureus harboring the chromosomal toxin gene, may elicit toxic shock syndrome in humans. In vitro, TSST-1 induces T cells to proliferate and macrophages to secrete interleukin-1.

The superantigen toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST)-1 can induce tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha expression in T cells and monocytes, through different signaling pathways. We have stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells with TSST-1 and found that the major cell producers of
