enterotoxin

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13114
Toxin affecting intestinal cells and thus causing food poisoning.
Note: Enterotoxins stimulate many types of T cells by binding to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules and the Vb domain of certain T-cell receptors (TCRs). Enterotoxins have thus been referred to as superantigens.
