Staphylococcalenterotoxins represent a group of proteins, which are secreted byStaphylococcus aureus and cause the intoxication staphylococcal foodpoisoning syndrome. The illness characterised by high fever, hypotension,diarrhea, shock, and in some cases death. Their molecular masses rangebetween 27 and 30 kDa. At present, seven enterotoxins are known, namely A, B,C1, C2, C3, D and E. Their amino acid sequences have been determined and itwas shown that all are single chain polypeptides containing one disulfidebond formed by two half cystines located in the middle of the polypeptidechain, which form the so called cysteine loop. Suitable for use in ELISA and Western blot. Each laboratory should determine an optimum working titer for use in its particular application. Other applications have not been tested but use in such assays should not necessarily be excluded.
