Abstract
Toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) and staphylococcal enterotoxins B and C cause the majority of cases of staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome. Previously, vaccine toxoids of TSST-1 have been prepared. In this study, vaccine toxoids of enterotoxins B and C were prepared. The toxoids lost biological toxicity but were able to vaccinate rabbits against lethal TSS.
