[Preparation and the anti-tumor activity of mutant Staphylococcal enterotoxin B].
OBJECTIVE
To prepare mutant Staphylococcal enterotoxin B(SEB) and observe its anti-tumor activity.


METHODS
The expressed mutant SEB-K172E in inclusion body was denatured and renatured, and then isolated and purified. The anti-tumor activity of the mutant SEB-K172E was compared with wild-type SEB.


RESULTS
Renaturation and purification method of the mutant SEB-K172E was developed. The anti-tumor activity of acquired mutant protein was ten times higher than that of wild-type SEB.


CONCLUSIONS
The anti-tumor activity of the mutant SEB-K172E is much higher than that of wild-type SEB, suggesting that the mutant SEB-K172E may become a potential anti-tumor drug.
