Pyrogenicity and Cytokine-Inducing Properties of Streptococcus pyogenes Superantigens: Comparative Study of Streptococcal Mitogenic Exotoxin Z and Pyrogenic Exotoxin A

Streptococcal mitogenic exotoxin Z (SMEZ), a superantigen derived from Streptococcus pyogenes, provoked expansion of human lymphocytes expressing the Vβ 2, 4, 7 and 8 motifs of T-cell receptor.
