Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Staphylococcal enterotoxins do not bind to MHC class I molecules and T-cell receptors. They bind to MHC class II molecules and activate T cells, causing them to divide and differentiate into effector T cells. This results in the excessive synthesis and release of cytokines, leading to symptoms of food poisoning such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The enterotoxins stimulate between 2% and 20% of the total T-cell population. They do not induce suppression of the immune response by causing T cells to undergo apoptosis.
