The estimation of the percentage of T cells bearing each Vβ was obtained by Southern blotting with hybridization to the constant region probe. Total counts per minute for each PCR band was determined by phosphorimaging. Percentages >6% are shown in the table as the numerical values. Values between 1 and 6% are indicated as positive (+). Vβ signals expressed at a level <1% are also indicated. Vβ 2 percentages correlated with TSST-1 toxin are underlined. The toxin from staph isolated from each patient are shown on the bottom line.
Abbreviations: na, not available; B, blood mononuclear cells; S, skin lesions.
PBL analyzed 3 months later.
Vβ2 is absent in this patient's blood and was true in a course time of 1 year (data not shown).
