Binding of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) to MHC class II encoded proteins is a prerequisite for its subsequent activation of a large fraction of T lymphocytes through interaction with variable segments of the TCR-beta chain. We cloned SEA in Escherichia coli and produced four recombinant fragments covering both the N- and C-terminal regions. These fragments were used to analyze the interaction between SEA and the human MHC class II products. A C-terminal fragment of SEA, representing amino acids 107-233 bound to HLA-DR and HLA-DP but did not activate T cells. The three other fragments (amino acids 1-125, 1-179 and 126-233) neither bound to MHC class II Ag nor activated T cells. SEA apparently bind to HLA-DR and HLA-DP through its C-terminal part, whereas T cell activation is dependent on additional parts of the protein.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.
