Target Information

MA1-74347 recognises Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin type A. Staphylococcus aureus produces several different types of enterotoxins (SEs). The SEs are short, soluble proteins that are highly stable and resistant to most proteolytic enzymes. They belong to a family of pyrogenic toxins and as such cause an increase in body temperature, immunosuppression and non-specific T-cell proliferation. These activities are referred to as superantigen activity and results from the interaction of SEs with T-cell antigen receptors and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on antigen presenting cells. In addition to their superantigen activity, SEs are also emetics (they cause vomiting). The SEs are important in food poisoning. Enterotoxin A is one of the SEs most commonly identified in clinical isolates. MA1-74347 may be used as a capture antibody in ELISA assays for S. aureus enterotoxin A in combination with MCA2848 as a detection agent.
