Effect of (−)-Epigallocatechin Gallate to Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A on Toxin Activity

Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) functions both as superantigens that stimulate non-specific T cell proliferation as well as potent gastrointestinal toxins. We previously reported that (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) binds to SEA. Therefore, the ability of EGCG to inhibit SEA toxin activity wa...
