MeSH definition : Microbial antigens that have in common an extremely potent activating effect on T-cells
that bear a specific variable region. Superantigens cross-link the variable region
with class II MHC proteins regardless of the peptide binding in the T-cell receptor's
pocket. The result is a transient expansion and subsequent death and anergy of the
T-cells with the appropriate variable regions.;
MeSH synonym : Superantigen;
MeSH annotation : coordinate IM with specific microbe /immunol (IM); for interaction of superantigens
with endotoxins, coordinate with ENDOTOXINS or specifics;
