• The concept of superantigens is well-known and widely accepted. In this brief communication, we analyze the behaviour of antigen-presenting cells after T-cell activation by staphylococcal enterotoxin B, a representative superantigen. We tried to activate murine T cells by inflammatory mouse peritoneal macrophage in the presence of staphylococcal enterotoxin B, but no T-cell activation was observed. We, therefore, analyzed surface-specific antigens of the macrophages. They expressed insufficient amounts of MHC class II, CD80 and CD86 molecules on the surface of the cells. On the contrary, increased amounts of MHC class II and CD86 molecules on the cell surfaces were observed after incubation with interferon γ. Interferon γ-primed macrophages were found to be competent to activate T cells in the presence of staphylococcal enterotoxin B. To our surprise, these macrophages underwent apoptosis in parallel with T-cell activation.
