ABSTRACT Endogenous superantigen-mediated thymic negative selection resulted in a paucity of mature T cells bearing T-cell receptor (TCR) Vβ8 in the periphery. Consequently, the magnitude of immune response to exogenous superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin B, which activates TCR Vβ8+ T cells, was significantly reduced and conferred protection from superantigen-induced mortality.
