Superantigenicity of helper T-cell mitogen (SPM-2) isolated from culture supernatants of Streptococcus pyogenes.

abstract：:Polystyrene surfaces coated with proteins at alkaline pH were found to be useful to investigate the stimulation of neutrophils independently of phagocytosis. Human neutrophils, when exposed to appropriate stimuli, release superoxide anion (O2-). We have measured superoxide dismutase-inhibitable cytochrome c reduction ...

Hormones and neuropeptides produced by the neuroendocrine system often modulate the function of lymphoid organs and immune cells.
