Previous work established that binding of the 11-5.2 anti-I-A(k) mAb, which
recognizes the Ia.2 epitope on I-A(k) class II molecules, elicits MHC class II
signaling, whereas binding of two other anti-I-A(k) mAbs that recognize the Ia.17
epitope fail to elicit signaling. Using a biochemical approach, we establish that
the Ia.2 epitope recognized by the widely used 11-5.2 mAb defines a subset of
cell surface I-A(k) molecules predominantly found within membrane lipid rafts.
Functional studies demonstrate that the Ia.2-bearing subset of I-A(k) class II
molecules is critically necessary for effective B cell-T cell interactions,
especially at low Ag doses, a finding consistent with published studies on the
role of raft-resident class II molecules in CD4 T cell activation. Interestingly,
B cells expressing recombinant I-A(k) class II molecules possessing a
?-chain-tethered hen egg lysosome peptide lack the Ia.2 epitope and fail to
partition into lipid rafts. Moreover, cells expressing Ia.2(-) tethered
peptide-class II molecules are severely impaired in their ability to present both
tethered peptide or peptide derived from exogenous Ag to CD4 T cells. These
results establish the Ia.2 epitope as defining a lipid raft-resident MHC class II
conformer vital to the initiation of MHC class II-restricted B cell-T cell
interactions.
