Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus produces a set of proteins which act both as superantigens and toxins. Although their mode of action as superantigens is well understood little is known about their effects on airway epithelial cells. Methods To investigate this problem primary nasal epithelial cells derived from normal and asthmatic subjects were stimulated with staphylococcal enterotoxin A and B SEA and SEB and secreted supernatants and cell-associated cell lysates IL-8 TNF-a RANTES and eotaxin were determined by specific ELISAs. Results Non-toxic concentrations of SEA and SEB pg ml and pg ml induced IL-8 secretion after 24 h of culture. Pre-treatment of the cells with IFN-y 50 IU ml resulted in a further increase of IL-8 secretion. In cells from healthy donors pretreated with IFN-y SEA at pg ml induced release of
