Distribution of %Vβ in the cultures stimulated with SAgs. Non-adherent lymphocyte-enriched PBMCs were stimulated with SAgs (final concentration at 5 μg/ml) for 4 days. The %Vβs were calculated and were presented as the mean ± S.E.M. Asterisks indicate a significant increase in %Vβ compared to cultures without stimuli (p < 0.05). Results shown are the means ± S.E.M. of three sets of triplicates combined from three experiments (n = 9). A) Classic SEs and TSST-1. B) Novel SEs and SEls.
