Previous work demonstrated that human cytotoxic T cells activated by superantigens can lyse major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-positive target cells as well as MHC class II-negative tumour cells coated with conjugates of monoclonal antibodies and superantigens. In order to decrease MHC class II affinity, and therefore unwanted binding of the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) to MHC class II molecules, a point mutation was introduced into the SEA gene. This mutation (SEAD227A) resulted in an approximately 3-log reduction of affinity to human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DR, but cytotoxicity mediated by this mutant superantigen towards antibody-labelled tumour cells is as efficient as cytotoxicity mediated by the native superantigen. We therefore compared the T-cell activating potency of native and mutated SEA. Our data show that SEAD227A is 4- to 5-log less effective than native SEA when activation of resting T cells is assayed in terms of blast formation, expression of cell surface activation markers and cytokine release. Furthermore, presenting either SEA or SEAD227A to MHC class II-negative mononuclear cells by MHC class II-negative tumour cells did not result in significant blast formation of T cells, up-regulation of CD25 or cytokine release. This suggests that lysis of MHC class II-negative tumour cells is efficiently induced by monoclonal antibody targeted superantigen, while activation of resting T cells requires additional co-stimulatory signals.
