Bacterial staphylococcal enterotoxin B is involved in several severe disease patterns and it was therefore used as a target for the generation of biologically stable mirror-image oligonucleotide ligands, so called Spiegelmers. The toxin is a 28 kDa protein consisting of 239 amino acids. Since the full-length protein is not accessible to chemical peptide synthesis, a stable domain of 25 amino acids was identified as a suitable selection target. DNA in vitro selection experiments were carried out ...[more]
