Class II MHC-Expressing Myofibroblasts Play a Role in the Immunopathogenesis Associated with Staphylococcal Enterotoxins

: Food poisoning due to staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) affects hundreds of thousands of people each year. Little is known about how SEs initiate immune responses and cause pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that cultured human intestinal myofibroblasts (IMFs) bind SEs in an MHC class II‐dependent...
