In 1970, before any antigen-bound immunoglobulin structure had been solved, Elvin Kabat
proposed that regions of high amino acid diversity would be the antigen binding sites of …

Superantigens (SAGs) are a class of immunostimulatory proteins of bacterial or viral origin
that activate T cells by binding to the Vβ domain of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR). The …
