Abstract

CD200 is a membrane protein that interacts with CD200R on the surface of immune cells and delivers an inhibitory signal. In this study, we characterized the distribution of inhibitory CD200R in rats. In addition, we investigated if e127, a homologue of rat CD200 expressed by rat cytomegalovirus (RCMV), can suppress immune functions in vitro. RT-PCR analysis was carried out to test the expression of CD200R in different rat tissues and flow cytometry was performed to characterize CD200R at the cellular level. To test the inhibitory functions of e127, a co-culture system was utilized in which immune cells were incubated with e127-expressing cells. The strongest CD200R expression was detected in lymphoid organs such as bone marrow and spleen. Flow cytometry analyses showed that CD200R+ cells were mainly CD4- dendritic cells (DC) and CD4+ T cells in the spleen. In blood, nearly all monocytes and granulocytes expressed CD200R and in bone marrow the NKRP1low subset of natural killer cells highly expressed CD200R. In addition, both peritoneal macrophages and the NR8383 macrophage cell line carried CD200R. At the functional level, viral e127 conferred an inhibitory signal on TNFα and IL6 cytokine release from IFNγ-stimulated macrophages...Continue Reading
