We have used the synthetic peptide approach to show that the N-terminal 45-amino acids of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), SEA(1–45), constitute an important part of its binding site on class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. SEA(1–45) and to a lesser extent SEA(1–27) were able to displace SEA from HLA-DR on Raji cells as assessed by flow cytometry and to compete with radiolabeled SEA for interaction with HLA-DR in a direct binding assay. Specific binding of SEA to la on murine A-20 cells could be inhibited by the same peptides [i.e. SEA(1–45) > SEA(1–27)] that blocked binding to HLA-DR. Therefore, different class II MHC molecules associate with the same functional site on SEA. Further, an ELISA system was used to demonstrate that SEA(1–45) is able to directly bind to a mouse synthetic I-Aβbpeptide, I-Aβb(65–85), which contains a binding site of the class II MHC molecule involved in SEA presentation to T cells. Thus, we have localized a site on SEA that is involved in selective surface association with class II MHC antigens and identified the region on the class II MHC antigen to which that site binds.
